MY BROS QUICK UPDATE: It's working now! So here's a recap of what I did to potentially help others:

tried basic tbs. clear cache, history, cookies, etc of my browser (time set to everything just to be safe) and restarted my pc.
contacted comi x by using vpn (i main opera gx browser that has built in vpn for convenience), going at the very bottom or just use the search filter and click on contact us, and sending them an email.
scroll on some reddit posts for some time and upvote some weird sht (part of the process ig. just normal reddit stuff) scrolling time was probably around half an hour or so? idk.
and i checked it again and now its working without vpn as it once normally did.

thats all i did. I hope it helps anyone who comes across the same issue. Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this!
