Actually, this is purely a guess, but when when this happened to me, it was because I used the “Read Only Mode” button on the Admin \> Backups area. That button actually did nothing, and has since been fixed. When the fix was applied, it put the Discourse instance into Read Only mode. I had to go back to Admin \> Backups to disable Read Only mode.
