uswest servers were down for about 30 minutes but servers came back up and the servers were extremely fast and stable. your checking versions error might have nothing to do with servers going down and might just be a standard 14 day botting ip restriction. i get one of those retrictions almost once a year but i changed my leader / follower configs to a more stable setup.
i looked at my network and found my wifi antenna on my computer to my router was losing a lot of packets due to distance so i would drop out of games a lot so i wired the connection and it instantly went away. im in the process of upgrading the network to fiber for better botting with lower latency.
