Apparently Gracenote is removing all websites for consumers, so this could also be part of this. Not sure if other places that charge for the listings are affected.

Side note, does going to gracenote.com using the grid work without logging in?

I had some errors last night on my historic perl script. I may have forgotten to restart my docker to refresh the changes I made.
I have tested logging into gracenote.com with my 4 logins and they all work. I can also see the grid without logging in.
ensure you are using the correct aid= variable. There are a few out there.

Also. I am not sure how much the developer reads this discussion. I asked something a few days ago and haven't had a response.

I'm using the node.js version on Windows 10 and OTA listing.
As far as I can tell the script will work if --timespan=72 is set.
Anything 73 or larger fails for me with the 503 Service Unavailable message.
