There are multiple things that can cause this, but over the last couple of days some customers, but not all, definitely had some virtual switches affected by the following:
The day before Thanksgiving, one of Amazon Web services server farms, the one in Virginia, started having problems and there were major outages over the next 36 hours.
This affected a wide range of IOT customers. Alexa routines, of course. Ring. But also a lot of third-party customers who used those servers for at least some of their users. That included:
Adobe
Amazon Photos
Amazon Alexa routines
Arlo
Hulu
iRobot
Lutron Login Services
Rakuten
Ring
SmartThings
Switchbot
Twilio
WeMo
and many more.
But not all of the customers for any of those companies. Just the ones whose accounts were handled by those particular servers. And only for the cloud-based features hosted on those servers.

The thing is… That same region went down two years ago. …
I think it’s supposed to be resolved by now, though.
