Same problem here. It disappeared overnight. I have MS Surface Pro running Win 11.
The only thing I can think of is that there was some kind of glitch during the autorenewal process. Because my Microsoft 365 Family subscription was charged $106.99 which included the tax in this price but I see in my account the price went up to $129.99 not including tax, not sure how much tax would be because my autorenewal shows $106.99 and my credit card reflect this transaction as well as my billing history. Now my communication chat is blocked now for some reason, just like the VPN and CoPilot Pro. It seems like my subscription was altered without my consent.
