Me, when Ao3 demands to know if I'm human and then gives me a 503 error anyway:

FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS (∘⁼̴⃙̀˘︷˘⁼̴⃙́∘)

IS THE ARCHIVE DOWN AGAIN OR IS IT JUST ME? 😭

Is anyone else having issues with AO3 today? I’m literally spiraling right now!

• The site was down for maintenance for hours, and even though they said it’s back, I just can’t get in.

• I’ve already cleared my browser cache (cleared EVERYTHING!), tried incognito mode, and still nothing.

• I managed to stay logged in for a few seconds hours ago, but it crashed again and now I’m just getting the 503 Error or the "We’ll be back soon" screen.

• I’m NOT using a VPN. My internet has been a bit spotty, but the site seems completely dead for me.

Seriously, I just wanted to read my fics in peace! Is anyone else stuck on the maintenance screen or getting the "Retry later" error? Please tell me it’s not just me, I’m actually about to cry. 💔
