Asked by aaaronsimpson
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!

I ran into this today after I created some new droplets, some of which didn’t have the metric option checked, and it persisted for a few hours on all of my droplets until I signed out and back in, which fixed it. Refreshing the browser alone didn’t seem to help.
Logged out, and back in. Resolved issue.
I faced the same issue today. Relogin solved it.
