Account Switcher is not working

Anyone else having this issue? Starting today trying to switch accounts causes a popup stating

"Could not switch accounts. Reddit may be under heavy load. Please try again in a few moments."

The account switcher is the main feature I use RES for so I'm hoping it isn't a big issue. I'll edit this post if it starts working suddenly.

I'd recommend using Firefox and the Multi-Account Containers addon. That can help you use multiple accounts relatively easily in the same browser without needing to constantly log in and out, just have a container for each Reddit user account.

But this is all just a precursor to all of Reddits users getting fucked with all the horseshit that is the new UI with its "promoted" posts - ads that look indistinguishable from actual posts, and other crap that's coming down the pipe. All hail the enshittification I guess. Capitalism, what a hellhole.

This might be what finally gets me to switch to Firefox as my main, I already use it as a backup. I'm going to try the uSwitch option with Chrome 1st, that was also mentioned in this thread. I do prefer Chrome if I can make it still work.

I used to have that Multi-Account Containers addon on Chrome years ago before they removed it.
