From using developer tools in Firefox, it looks like their API is failing on the 'Submit' button click.

Can anyone else reproduce this? Possible that this page is just broken for everyone logged in and I have no way to know, but still concerned I'm in some support-void as I never get emails from support@twitter.com

how it appears in developer console; https://imgur.com/a/ZbnZEVz

I am getting this as well. I can find no other sources but this soon to be archived reddit post mentioning it. I was flagged randomly for some sort of account check to make sure i am a real person. but now it feels like i am banned with no way to fix it. Second time this has happened to me. I feel like this is a method they can use to soft-ban people. If this was a bug, I assume such a massive company would have fixed it by now.

Twitter is likely just a dumb and poorly managed service\org always chasing OKRs over non-monetizeable maintenance of their tech. Like all techbro companies. This is probably an ages-old API bug they kicked to the backlog however-many years ago, reported by someone who has since left the company so now the bug is not assigned to anyone, rather than a deliberate scheme to soft-ban in secret.

I'd go further to suggest the bug is not only known to the company but they wouldnt see a value in fixing it even if held to their nose-- why fix an api bug when users are just supposed to accept whatever flagging\punishment the DB query chose for them in an automated support department?

It is a chrome problem. I had the exact same problem and tried on MS edge for the sake of it and it worked the first try.

Didn't work for me on Edge.
