@Dev-1575, Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

Thanks for posting the question. I understand this issue could be frustrating, apologies for any inconvenience and delayed response here.
I have checked there isn’t any known issues after the platform updates. Before beginning worldwide updates, we deploy first to a private region which is not commonly accessible.

Could you please share more details about your application framework? On which region have you provisioned the WebApp?

As you have mentioned that you have been facing this issue for the last 6 days, I wish to engage with you offline for a closer look and provide a quick and specialized assistance, please send an email with subject line “Attn:Ajay” to AzCommunity[at]Microsoft[dot]com referencing this thread, Azure subscription ID, share the logs from this location I will follow-up with you.

In the interim, you may checkout the following options to isolate the issue.

Thanks for your patience and co-operation!

In the interim, you may checkout the following options to isolate the issue:

Kindly check to see if App Service diagnostics provides any pointers, it reduces the chance of trial and error and expedites problem resolution by recommending potential solutions.

To access App Service diagnostics, navigate to your App Service app in the Azure portal. In the left navigation, click on Diagnose and solve problems – Checkout the tile for “Diagnostic Tools” and “Availability and Performance”.

You can also always inspect the log files from the browser at https://<app-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/api/logs/docker and leverage App Service diagnostics to fetch more details on the issue. If you haven’t done this already and if feasible restart the WebApp and then check to see if that helps.

You can also review the Azure Service Health and Azure resource health overview notifications to further narrow-down and diagnose the health of the resource.

Just sharing the following details to help you isolate in the meanwhile I connect with you offline.

Service Health - Service issues view shows any ongoing problems in Azure services that are impacting your resources. You can understand when the issue began, and what services and regions are impacted. You can also read the most recent update to understand what Azure is doing to resolve the issue.

Resource health- helps you diagnose and get support when an Azure issue impacts your resources. It informs you about the current and past health of your resources and helps you mitigate issues. Resource health provides technical support when you need help with Azure service issues.

Kindly see these docs:
OS and runtime patching in Azure App Service
