Email keeps disconnecting

I've had to re-authenticate my outlook.com email twice since I updated to 17.1.1. My iCloud and work 365 email accounts didn't prompt and working fine.
I have to keep putting in my password for Outlook on my phone and iPad. Gmail is fine. Sometimes you can refresh the inboxs and it works. Mac seems to be fine.
Same here with Outlook and Apple Mail. There are about 300+ others on the Apple Support Forum as well.
My work around is to just forward my Outlook mail to my iCloud address, no problem now but I should not have to do this.

iPhone keeps asking for Outlook password - Apple Community
Yes!!! it is soooooooo annoying. Happening to me on both my iPhone 15 pro and iPad. Both since 17.1.1. Are you using outlook.live email? Also, noticed optimized charging no longer working. So it charges directly to 100 instead of stopping at 80 for a while.
Still happening.
Both on my older Mac (on an older Mojave macOS, for a reason), along with my iPad Mini on the current 17.3.
I was using the "Exchange" option for my outlook.com email address (to get full EAS [Exchange ActiveSync] functionality*), but that option refuses to work at all now. So had to use the other option to get it to work, along with a new app-specific password (create these in the web interface's settings, BTW)... but the pop-up asking for password keeps appearing intermittently!
Strangely, my iPhone and newer Macs (on newer OS's) continue to work with the Exchange setup...weird??
Of course, do any of Microsoft's service status pages show any problems...of course not, everything's running bloody tickety-boo according to them!
(*AFAIUI, EAS is an older tech anyway, and may supposed to be superseded by MFA (aka 2FA) authentication login instead?)
