Hello and welcome @starbug29 🙂

I don’t think creating and deleting the API would be affecting this in any way, so I think you’re good there. 👍

If you check your `[YourSite]/logs` there may be some extra information on what’s causing the errors. Could you look in there and see if there’s anything relevant?
