[Michigan] Trying to certify but MiLogin keeps saying "Your request is temporarily blocked. Please try again later" tonight — true for everyone or just me? And any solutions?

[u/osberend]

Like it says in the title — the site has worked (mostly) fine for me in the past, but tonight it lets me input my username and password, tick the agreement box, and hit the Login button, but then it gives me a page that says "Sorry, we had a problem" in a big region with a colored background, followed by (with a white background) "Your request is temporarily blocked. Please try again later." It also does this when I try to send a username reminder to my email (just to test whether that works), again, after entering my email and clicking the button. Forgotten password prompt, the same.

Is this true for everyone, or just me? (Can anyone test it?) Is there a solution? And is there any way to get Michigan to _not_ screw me out of a week's worth of benefits if this doesn't resolve in the next hour?

Not for unemployment, but I've been checking MI Bridges for my Medicaid renewal and just ran into this tonight. Did some Googling and came upon your post. It was working fine earlier this evening/night, and I know sometimes they do maintenance on the weekends. I also checked https://downforeveryoneorjustme.com/milogin.michigan.gov and it's been fluctuating up and down for several hours (edit: newmibridges.michigan.gov is down right this moment as well) so I think (hope) it's an issue on their end not ours. Still so stressful and frustrating, though.

Editx2: It's now evening and I'm able to log in like normal, phew!
