When trying to access via the app or webapp I get the message: "We're improving your experience. Please log in later".

But I have received no emails regarding an upgrade or something to that effect, and their status site says: Our deliverables will be deployed during second weekend of every month. It may cause some latency in APIs during the deployment window.

No signs on x either: https://x.com/EmpowerToday

Something does not add up.

Worls here as far as I can see it at first glance. Do you have issues with the api availability?
