How the SLA clock works

At 99.9% uptime, a 30-day November allows 43 minutes and 12 seconds of downtime if every covered user is affected. The clock counts down to that point, then counts up.

Microsoft measures qualifying Outlook Web Access send and receive failures in affected user-minutes. Actual uptime and credit eligibility depend on tenant impact and contract terms. The two annual benchmarks illustrate the video’s comparisons.
