Refresh error: compute engine has an outage

All my dataflows are failing on demand refresh, when I goto refresh history and download the csv log it shows the error  RootActivityId = <redacted>.Param1 = Operation failed because the compute engine has an outage and is unavailable.

The Power BI status page does not show any outages at this time. 

Now my scheduled dataflows are also failing.  

 

Is there any way to get more information on this outage and when it might be resolved.

The compute engine errors on refresh of the dataflows just resolved themselves over the weekend and now I can refresh my dataflows with no issue.  MS support did not acknowledge the outage in any way.

I am experiencing the same issue today, already for several hours. Is there any estimate on when will this get resolved? PBI status page also doesn't indicate there are any issues...
