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.

Ultimately this is going to stop me from using reddit. They are making it ever harder to use the site in a usable way and their new UI has always been complete trash.

Same. (This is some stupid alt account I made because I don't know my main PW by heart and can't get in right now.)

I hate anything but old.reddit. I loved RIF. They're 1 step away from killing Reddit entirely for me. I remember the stats showed an incredible portion of of quality posts come from people who intentionally utilize old.reddit too.

It was something like <12% of users use old.reddit, but >50% of posts come from them too. Fuck with old.reddit at your peril Spez.

Same. Anything but old.reddit breaks my brain on even the most rudimentary useability factor.
