Anyone else getting this error message when trying to access Factset Fundamentals? All my algorithms using Factset Fundamentals are now getting this error message, since late last week. I've sent a mail to Q support, sharing a backtest of a simple algo showing this error message, so hoping they can advise what's going on here. Am I the only one getting this friendly error message?
