Not able to use Alexa with Telus Home Assistant

The other day I went to turn on one of my Telus digital boxes via Alexa and it responded by saying sorry XXXXTV is not responding. I tried the other two cable boxes via Alexa and they too would not respond, giving me the same answer Sorry... I tried manually turn on or off via the app and still nothing. I unabled the skill in the Alexa app rebooted my phone then tried to enable the Telus Home Assistant skill again. It goes through the process. Brings up the Telus login page I input my credentials correctly and then it states "Linking Accounts" then it says "unable to link accounts try again later" This has been for the last 48 hours. I will mention that the skill has worked without problems for close to a year. I did notice that the Alexa app has gone through an update on June 01, 2026. Anyone else having this problem and able to fix?
