GREAT IT WORKS AFTER 2 DAYS, I should’ve reported sooner. At first I did think it was a connection problem but since it worked perfectly 2 days before the bug begins and I haven’t been changing connections, I crossed that out. I also thought about bad gateways but if I remember correctly, that should show in the tracebacks so I reported this bug.

Thank you so much! The --cookies worked perfectly. Also to @atnjqt, I was completely aware to that so no worries.

I don’t suppose there is any text below “ID Search”?
