I've been using Office Scripts in Excel to automate some tasking. Yesterday, I tried to add a new script and it gives me the following error.

Oops, something went wrong

An unexpected error occurred. Click 'Refresh' button to retry.

I also tried 'Record Actions' to create a script and when i hit stop I get the following error:

Oops, something went wrong

We're unable to save your script. An unexpected error occurred while generating and saving the script. Click 'Record Actions' to record again.

    Same issue unfortunately.

    I hope we will receive an official response soon. They claim all services to be working correctly, which they are obviously not.

    Sadly nothing we can do until godfather Microsoft decides to provide working Software

    Same here - I can't run the script or I don't even have access to it (even though I'm the owner). Clicking the button does nothing for me or anyone else who has access to the file. Some of them get an error saying that the script is not shared even though it is.

    Hope they fix it soon - it's a huge blocker.
