The game server timed out when creating a game

I have been able to play melee games in the mornings. If I try early afternoon or later then after Create Lobby is pressed the game times out on “ENTERING LOBBY” and gives the error “There was a temporary problem with your request. Please try again.”. Several days of this and from the discussions on the in-game chat window it is either everyone or most people there experiencing this “feature”. Hope it gets resolved soon.

From the intel I got, restarting your pc and/or closing battlenet update agent from task manager fixes the issue for some.

This is actually ridiculous. The game servers work fine for years, and now suddenly they break. Blizzard, you are not some indie company. Pay some devs holiday pay and let them fix this issue.
