Communication site approvals have stopped working

Approvals have stopped working on my SharePoint communication site web pages. After clicking "Submit for approval" on a page, users see a message "Working on it" with a spinning wheel, but nothing else happens.
 
The approvals process uses Power Automate as described here: Configure page approval using Power Automate (support.microsoft.com)
 
I've tried turning off "Require content approval for submitted items" in the versioning settings in the pages library but that didn't work.

    GCompton - I have retested my approvals this morning (UK 09:20am) and the flows etc are all now working.

    Seems it was an issue on Microsoft side but can't find anything logged for it.

    GCompton same issue here for me, I can't even see that my approval flow is being triggered. 
    When I turn the flow off and also turn of page approvals on the library, I still get the same issue.

    GCompton I'm having the very same issue (US based). I'm hoping someone will have an explanation or resolution before the issue fixes itself.
