Teams fails to delete chats
When attempting to delete a chat from my chats view, I get a generic error
We couldn't delete your chat. Try again later.
When debugging in the Edge developer console, it appears that the Teams API is throwing a 5xx http response error. I am unable to delete any chats from my Recents due to this.
It appears to call this API
https://teams.microsoft.com/api/chatsvc/amer/v1/users/ME/conversations/[redacted]%40thread.v2/properties?name=clearHistoryTime
For some chats the API throws a 503 Service Unavailable, and in others, it throws a generic 500 Internal Server error. I'm guessing these responses are the result of generic server-side error handling, but I still have no recourse to actually delete these chats...

This is all within Microsoft Edge running the Classic interface, and there's no need to ask me to clear app caches, reinstall, or switch to "New Teams". It's an API failure, not an app failure. FWIW, New Teams won't even load fully in Edge for me, but I don't debug beta software unless forced to.
