The error is similar to the one you noticed in your post on October 6th.
Maybe it will resolve itself within a day.
The issue is caused by Bol blocking requests because it detects a non-standard browser (i.e. mechanize), or perhaps due to Cloudflare protection. Fixing this is difficult and would likely require installing extra software, which is not a path I want to go down.
First, I will check over the next few days to see if the error still occurs
