This List is Empty - but it isn't
Hey all,
I have a bug that I've never encountered before.
I have a sharepoint list that was working perfectly fine until around 3 PM today. My sharepoint list has about 14 items in it. When I tried to view my sharepoint list, it said "this list is empty".
My first thought was that someone accidently deleted the records, so I checked the recycle bin and there was nothing in it related to the list.
I checked the sharepoint list under "site contents" and it lists about 14 items in the list (which is what I expect), but when I open the list, it still says "this list is empty".
I have a power automate flow that triggers when a Microsoft form is sent, it gathers the response details and makes a row in this list with the content from that form. Again, this process was perfect for a solid week and I've used the same process for dozens of forms over 4 years with no issue.
Where this gets really odd is that when I make a new Microsoft form response, my power automate flow runs perfectly and It appears it makes a sharepoint list item. Indeed, in the site contents, after submitting a new form response, the item count goes up by 1 for the sharepoint list. However, the list still says "this list is empty".
I even made a new view that only shows a single row (no filters applied), that all 14 records have filled out, my sharepoint list refuses to show any data.
I also can't seem to add columns, edit columns, or do what I would normally do for a sharepoint list. I am an owner of the sharepoint list and the form has permission inheritance on.
What's even more odd is that I can run powerbi desktop and use my same account credentials to use the sharepoint list as a data source and all 14 rows show up PowerBi desktop, which leads me to believe that the data does actually still exist in the sharepoint list.
Every other sharepoint list, including other sharepoint lists on the site, do not have this problem.
If possible, I don't want to have to make another list since it's used for other power platform items. However, this is baffling me.

Microsoft had a global outage yesterday affecting many services, including SharePoint.
