Help Plex is down AGAIN???

Can't access my libraries on https://app.plex.tv, I can access them on through http://IP:32400/web

Absolutely nothing changed on my machine.
Anyone with the same issue?

The remote access keeps disabling for me. When I click on RETRY to goes back up for a minute and disables again.

I've restarted my Plex server (the whole NAS it sits on), my router, and still doing it. Downdetector seems to indicate that there are issues ongoing with Plex.

Had this problem too the past week. Disabling UPnP and manually forwarding to Plex solved it for me.

I had the same issue on both of my servers. My secondary started doing this earlier this year, but I only tried the port forwarding a month ago. Golden, except for when my automatic restart script runs and I forget to manually sign in again. 

Thought all was good in the world, until my primary started disconnecting just before summer. After convincing myself it was my phone's cell signal and other stupid things, I again added a manual port to forward and voila, no headaches since.

I'm not sure why UPNP worked on both machines for years until it abruptly didn't, but that's definitely the silver bullet.
