Why is our site suddenly in read only mode? Our plan is paid and current. I’ve never seen this before. I also tried emailing team@discourse.org and it failed/said was unrecognized.

There is some maintenance ongoing: [image] Site Stuck in read only mode Support We’re currently performing some scheduled maintenance. Your site should switch back to R/W mode within the next 30 minutes. You can follow scheduled maintenance announcements…

Hi @Heather_Phillips , There is a planned maintenance being done today which required us to switch your site into readonly mode. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Urgent: read only mode
