Hello, I am a new user fumbling my way through the API to grab ERA5 data for the Gulf of Maine. Up until today, things seemed to be working well. However, I am not running into an error and I cannot log into my account on the CDS. Perhaps the two are related? Error: HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Bad Request for url: [https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/retrieve/v1/jobs/c7eb3ad9-e2c0-4978-be7c-0638a17e751b/results](https://cds.climate.copernicus.eu/api/retrieve/v1/jobs/c7eb3ad9-e2c0-4978-be7c-0638a17e751b/results) The job has failed. Request being made: {‘variable’: [‘mean\_sea\_level\_pressure’, ‘10m\_u\_component\_of\_wind’, ‘10m\_v\_component\_of\_wind’], ‘format’: ‘netcdf’, ‘area’: [45.5, -71.5, 39.5, -65.0], ‘product\_type’: ‘monthly\_averaged\_reanalysis’, ‘year’: [‘2014’, ‘2015’, ‘2016’, ‘2017’, ‘2018’, ‘2019’, ‘2020’], ‘month’: [‘01’, ‘02’, ‘03’, ‘04’, ‘05’, ‘06’, ‘07’, ‘08’, ‘09’, ‘10’, ‘11’, ‘12’], ‘time’: ‘00:00’} dataset = ‘reanalysis-era5-single-levels-monthly-means’ When i click on the url in the error it shows me “permission denied” as the type and I cannot log into my account on the CDS. I just see this image: ![image](https://forum.ecmwf.int/uploads/default/original/1X/786b44ec8d3693302d4b1648a93fe9a4c67ec77e.png) “Try signing in with a different account” or “sign in with keycloak” ---

Thank you, I looked at that, but I wasn’t sure what degraded meant. Thought I had successfully connected in the past when ECFS was yellow. ---

I hope that’s the case and it will be back soon. It would be nice if they could add a more descriptive term than “degraded” for laymen like me.
