I strongly suspect that this was caused (even if indirectly?) by the 
MASSIVE and many-hours-long power outages in Europe, mainly in Spain and 
Portugal. That started on April 28, 2025, at approximately 6:33 a.m. 
Eastern Time (ET) - and the majority of it lasted almot 24 hours.

Hopefully, you're not seeing any more of these errors now?
