subscriptions stopped updating

Hello

locally managed M270 +fw 12.11.8

fsm dashboard says subsciptions outdated going on awhile

https://services.watchguard.com from a web browser says healthy

log says

2026-03-08 06:54:00 sigd Server response code for register: 502

manual update button on fsm sometimes works

Are there other update servers to try?

Is this worth a shot? Do you use it? Does it cost extra?

    Yeah, I'm seeing similar behavior trying to manually update in FSM with 12.11.8. I had a case open last Thursday with support and it appeared to be fixed Friday. The status page stated there was an issue that was corrected, so I closed the case. This morning (Monday) I am getting a "The update failed: Register procedure failed. An error occurred in the initial connection to the update server (5)" error with every manual subscription update (GAV, WebBlocker, M365, etc.). This is occurring at multiple locations.

    I guess I'll reopen the case.

    (edit: I have confirmed the error is also occurring on version 12.11.4)
