Hi,
I though to post an update.
We have gone through MIcrosoft Support who have confirmed it is not a problem with our tenant, ut a bigger Microsoft issue.

Hope it get fixed soon.

Hi, Its still all quiet from Microsoft. I agree we really need a fix soon as it is big restriction on service. If I hear anything I will post.

Not all recently creates sites have automatically repaired, but after updating content types locally from the Site back to the Content Type Hub the custom templates, began working again.- aakashdmauryaOct 18, 2023Copper ContributorIs that something we can do it by own or I need to contact Microsoft to perform the sync? Can you please share some more insights or steps to do this?
