HMRC Self Assessment service showing “unavailable” message

Is anyone else having issues accessing Self Assessment on the HMRC website? It has not been working for me for at least the past two days. Yesterday and today I have been seeing the following message:

“Sorry, the service is unavailable. You will be able to use the service later.”

The HMRC status page indicates that all services are operating normally, so I am not sure if this is a wider issue or something specific to my account.

I need to submit my SA and am hoping to receive a repayment, so I would appreciate any updates if others are experiencing the same problem or know when the service is expected to be available again.
