Can't connect to Merrill Lynch Investments

August 2, 2023 was my last successful download of Merrill Lynch Investments account data into Quicken Premier for Windows (R51.12). I keep getting OL-301-A error — "Your financial institution has rejected your request…"

I saw the post "ONGOING 8/12/23 Merrill Lynch Investments—$0 Investment Account Balance". It says the issue described is "mainly occurring on QMAC using Quicken Connect." My Merrill account don't have $0 investment account balances.

Are ALL users disabled from connecting to their Merrill accounts or only Merrill accounts which have $0 balances?

I have reinstalled the Quicken application and have also created a new data file. Neither effort has fixed the problem.

    So, is this issue affecting all Quicken users with Merrill Lynch accounts? A solution seems to be taking an inordinate amount of time…

    I am still having this issue. Any word on when it will be fixed?

    It's working for me now. Probably 5 days ago, as soon as I logged into ML, it told me (without any prompting by me) that I had 10 minutes to log into ML through Quicken or I would have to re-initiate the process (whatever that would be). Quicken successfully connected to ML and, for the first time since early August, I had access to all ML accounts.
