Vanguard OL-301A error again

Quicken Windows Subscription Member ✭✭

Getting the same error when updating Vanguard accounts this morning as happened a few weeks ago, and then it was resolved by Vanguard. The problem is occurring again.

    After several weeks of being unable to download Vanguard transactions, Quicken Tech Support walked me through a process to re-establish a connection last week. Today, after about a week of working fine, I am getting another error message and unable to do a one-step update. Anyone else have a new problem pop up today? I've used Quicken with Vanguard for probably over 20 years and never had as many problems as recently.

    same….

    Me too. [Quicken Classic Premier for Windows, R61.21]. Today I performed a one step update. I received the following error pictured below. Repeated one step updates and resetting my accounts did not resolved the error.

    I am able to download my transactions from my Vanguard web account into Quicken from Vanguard’s download center. What is this error, why is my request to download being rejected and how do I fix it? Thanks.

    This morning, March 28 my connection failed again it has been working now for a few weeks. Error OL-301a. Has this happened to anybody else today?

    I’m hoping this is just a blip and not the start of another new problem

    Thank you everyone. This seems to be an increasing problem between Quicken and Vanguard. Seems the more we pay for Quicken, the more problems we have. I'll wait until next week and see if it resolves itself.

    Like many others, I'm also getting the OL-301a error as of Friday morning, 3/28/25. As far as '…not the start of another problem', I fear it is. The other problem was OL-295, different code. But perhaps your first point of just being a 'blip' is correct, we hope.

    Yes I too am now experiencing connection errors (again). I regret renewing another year of a product that seems unable to work effectively with major investment institutions
