Agree the problem is widespread. I am having the same exact issue that started yesterday as well. Will not update.

Do we just give up on Quicken at this point?

A few months ago I remember having a similar problem with a different investment account…it took months for Quicken to resolve. Frustrating.

@NealGogol If your expectation is for connectivity issues to be resolved in a day or less, then probably yes, you should give up on Quicken. Most times when there's a connectivity issue — almost always because the financial institution made some change, and now Quicken needs to report it to Intuit and Intuit has to chase down the problem and pursue a fix — it does not get fixed in a day or two. If that's something you can't live with, you should probably look for something else… although I suspect you'll find other platforms also have similar connectivity issues.

I'm not suggesting it's not frustrating; I'm only saying that fixes to broken connectivity usually take a while, typically weeks or even more than a month, depending on a number of factors. Sometimes you get lucky, and there's a simple and quick fix, but it typically takes longer.

I just spoke to the Online support at Interactive Brokers.

He confirmed that the issue is with them and that they are working to solve the problem.

Same issue with IB downloading transactions using a Windows 11 Home PC. Quicken Deluxe R58.14. Started yesterday 9/10/24. Receive error message "unable to connect". Submitted error report but my data file is too large to include a sanitized version.
