Azure Traffic Manager and its End Points' Poll Status Degraded

Question

I have a traffic manager with 6 End Points. Although I can access the application via the traffic manager and the individual end points URLs, I dont know why the status on them is being shown as "Degraded".

All the 6 End Points are showing Degraded and so the traffic manager status is also showing as Degraded. The app is in production and people are using it and haven't complained about the accesibility.

I am not sure why the status us Degraded. These are Https end points and the same has been configured in the "Configure" tab and also in the service definition file.

Any pointers? I have seen a few such queries on the forums, but none of them meet my condition.
