It's a global AWS outage; it's certainly no indication that Adobe doesn't care about its users - not sure why you came to that conclustion...

Apparently, it’s a regional outage of AWS (Amazon Web Services). Adobe hosts a large part of its services there, including Stock, Creative Cloud, and Lightroom Web. But no response from them is really not nice! You’re right.

You can imagine that if you have an issue like this that support (via chat, not phone) would be overwhelmed. If you want to contact Adobe customer care, you will need to use the chat. But you can also follow them on X (formerly known as Twitter), I'm sure that they issued a warning for this problem, well, if Elon Musk is not using AWS himself… 🤔 🤔

Thank you for the information Jill. I'm frustrated because there were no working Adobe support phone numbers.  I called three, and each one disconnected. Perhaps they were affected by the outage?
