<p>Hi All,</p>
<p>Sorry, I was far from the office yesterday. I checked and
don't see any notes about downtime, planned or otherwise. No
tickets, no reports... that said there are a couple reasons you
could be locked out. Our servers have some security measures in
place that will detect malicious activity (typically failed login
attempts) and will deny access to an IP address it sees as an
issue. That ban is temporary, starting at 10 minutes, and then
it will open back up again (because it could have been an honest
mistake) but will again ban the offending IP address if it
continues to be a problem. Those bans increase in amount of time
before simply making the ban permanent.</p>
<p>The other possibility I can think of is if WordPress (or a
plugin) was undergoing an update or something new gets activated.
That will place the website into a maintenance mode while the
updates take place so that WordPress doesn't get its toes stepped
on.</p>
