      Been having this issue for days on and off. I open the launcher and it kicks me out of my account. (I have prev migrated my Mojang account and now have a Microsoft) When I log back in, it gives me the greyed out bottom bar message "oh no! Something went wrong, and we couldn't connect to the Minecraft services". Along with that message, I am also only allowed to play the demo version. I have owned minecraft for years, and have a stable internet connection so there's no reason for this to even be an issue.

      This happened a few days ago and I uninstalled, reinstalled and closed/reopened the launcher about 30 times each lol to no avail. I finally gave up, came back a day later and the issue had magically resolved. I have no idea if that will happen or not, but I just want to be able to consistently play with friends which I'm unable to do with this bug....

      Sidenote, I am running the new launcher on Mac, and know of the hack some users were using by downloading the Win 7 version of the launcher, unfortunately I can't use the old launcher as there is no way to download it to my computer I've even attempted to use 3rd party clients to launch the game and it still doesn't work. No troubleshooting has worked thus far, even tried changing firewall settings on my computer and it does nothing.

       

      Please please please fix this issue! I know I'm not the only one!!!
