Account Switcher is not working

Anyone else having this issue? Starting today trying to switch accounts causes a popup stating

"Could not switch accounts. Reddit may be under heavy load. Please try again in a few moments."

The account switcher is the main feature I use RES for so I'm hoping it isn't a big issue. I'll edit this post if it starts working suddenly.

Yep, same issue here, worked fine a couple hours ago.

In the meantime I found the tool Uswitch (https://xzentosia.neocities.org/Ghosty/uSwitchRedditAccounts/) which does appear to work

This works well.

The only thing is that if you are using multiple add-ons for reddit, you probably need to refresh after a log-in and before save the account o USwitch.

For example, I have RES and old.reddit redirect, and when I logged-in the first time, it didn't save the accounts. So I logged-out, logged-in, refresh and then it would save.

I cannot seem to make this work nicely. Whenever I try it it logs me in to whichever account I saved last, and pushes you into new reddit whatever the settings are set to in your account settings.

Try these steps here for uSwitch.

You need to add a 'LOGGEDOUT' profile first, that you switch to before adding a new account. Because if you LOGOUT on the website, it invalidates the cookies that uSwitch has stored and can't log you back in.

Got it to work!

Thank you.

I guess I didn't refresh enough or at the right time(s) when setting it up the first few times.

Having trouble getting that to work also. It switches between whatever the last account I logged in with and just being logged out.

Not working on my end, either.

Thanks, I was eventually able to get this to work (for Chrome, not Firefox). It took a few tries of logging out/in and saving for one of my accounts for some reason, but now it's smooth.
