Getting "not authorized to perform this operation" on droplets

When I’m trying to access 2 of my droplets today, i’m getting this on my drolets dashboard

{“id”: “Forbidden”, “message”: “You are not authorized to perform this operation” }

When I try to launch my droplet console, I get the same message. Thanks for your help!

Hi there,

Happy to hear that it is all working for you now!

This issue was most likely related to one of the incidents reported on the status page here:

Accept our apologies for any inconvenience caused!

Best,

I got the same message when I click on Graphs for m droplet. {“id”: “Forbidden”, “message”: “You are not authorized to perform this operation” }

I’ve been seeing this recently as well. I’ve tried in different browsers in case it was one of my extensions, but I can’t see any of my droplet monitoring charts.
