Starting today between 8:30am and 9:30am PST, the Get-SPOSite powershell command started giving authority errors when trying to use it. I'm a global admin and I can connect to my SharePoint Online environment using Connect-SPOService. I've been able to run a Get-SPOxxxxx command that works (Get-SPOExternalUser to be specific). However, when I try Get-SPOSite or Get-SPOUser they fail with authority errors. I've already opened a support ticket. Has anyone else had this behavior starting today??

@Juan Carlos González Martín I have a scheduled job which uses this command every hour. It stopped working between 0830 and 0930 PST. I did it manually again this morning and it still failed:
PS C:\temp> Connect-SPOService -Url https://xxxxxxxxxx-admin.sharepoint.com
PS C:\temp> Get-SPOExternalUser

So we can see that I did login via Connect-SPOService so I'm a global admin. I did a command and got data back from SPO. Then, the Get-SPOSite command fails.
