Happened a few months ago Jul 4, 2023

The same happened to a colleague a few months ago. This is very strange. Have you said or done anything that could possibly be construed as controversial recently?

Problem solved Jul 5, 2023

It turned out that someone at DeepL had messed up my payment information. Luckily he went on vacation (hopefully a long one) and someone else took over and fixed the issue.
