[2022] Taupe Cobra Error

Hey Commanders,

Everything was fine last night, trying to log into the game now this afternoon and first notices there were serious issues with the launcher. It took Steam forever to launch the launcher. It also took longer hitting "play" to load to main menu. It seems to connect to Frontier's servers from there (although it hangs at a "logging in" screen for a good 10-30 seconds).

When I click to log into a server it loads with my Krait spinning, it loads for several long minutes, then I get the Taupe Cobra error — can't connect to the adjudication server.

I've logged out of the launcher completely and re-verified, same issue. Is anyone else having this problem or is there something I need to be doing on my end? I literally haven't changed anything since logging off last night.
