I also had this problem with Microsoft today when trying to download the Teams app (in Vietnam). We use MS Teams at work and onboard one or two people a week. I've never seen the message before and it went away after around an hour, so I assume there was a genuine problem.

Perhaps, but it loaded fine in Chrome as well as a logged-in tab. It only rejected the Firefox no-cookies user agent. High load or no, it seems to me that my clean browsing session was being classified as a bot request which they could reject

Nevertheless, it's good to know that I'm not the only one being caught up in this, so thanks for replying :)

No worries. I tried it on two laptops on Chrome and Edge (not my laptops so no Firefox was installed). Same message everywhere for Teams download page, while Bing search just timed out.
