IB backfill trouble

Today I was running AB using IB for data, as I always do.

But several symbols would simply not stop backfilling. These symbols have been working perfectly for years until today. Some examples are XME, XLRE, and EMD.

I restarted TWS and AB, but still had this problem.

Is anyone else having this trouble today? As far as I know, these symbols are still covered by my current data subscriptions.

Well, today everything is working just fine so I am going to write this off as a glitch.

i sometimes also have problems connecting AB to the TWS. I then log out of the TWS and start it again and the problems are mostly gone.
