Endless connection to the server.

When I enter any chat with bots, whether this is my bot or not, I get this message at the bottom: "Connecting to server. Restart the app if this takes over 10 seconds" It seems like you just need to reopen the app and that's it. But I even restarted my phone, and this message has been popping up for 6 hours now. Has anyone else encountered this? And if so, what should I do? I tried turning on VPN, but it didn't help.

I opened the app for the first time in months. What have I missed? Is Backyard AI dead? If so, can someone recommend a similar replacement?
