What it actually says
The application (client) ID doesn't exist in the tenant you asked to sign into.
Azure outage? No. Wrong ID, wrong tenant, or the app isn't there.
The fix
- 01Verify the tenant ID in your config matches the tenant where the app is registered.
- 02Verify the client/application ID (not the object ID).
- 03For multi-tenant apps, make sure the app has been consented in the target tenant.

Application ID ≠ Object ID. Most of these are that.
