Thanks @Thornburywitch! The bot was not the only thing malfunctioning, just after setting everything up nicely and getting ready for bed, I nearly bricked my rather expensive work device the night before a field visit.

Thanks to a stray comment on an old post online, I finally managed to revive it over an hour later, even though it honestly felt like some dark magic and only worked after about 9 tries (and some stress relieving cleaning). Certainly some witchy intervention there as well, I suspect.
