I think this is not related to the timezone page, I have seen this happening when you disable the connection in your computer/mac, but the app has not yet updated the offline/online state. Since there is no internet connection, but the App thinks there is, it tries to send the requests in a retry loop and all of them fail. You can see that this is the case because if the App had detected correctly that you were offline, you would have seen the message "You appear to be offline":

Maybe we should create a new GH issue that describes the problem above, but I don't think we have a reliable way of reproducing it.

[marcaaron]

also maybe the site was just down when this happened? It went down at some point today IIRC.

Reproducible in production?: new feature

What about this is a new feature?

[marcaaron]

Oh, I see, it's a new page just for timezones.

[marcaaron]

Can't reproduce this one. Gonna close it since we don't have a good lead on what happened for tester. Feel free to reopen if anyone disagrees.

I don't think so, the video was taken 2 days ago, also you can see in the video that they disconnected the wifi to go offline, but the App didn't react to it.

[marcaaron]

Got it, thanks. Should we reopen then? Maybe with the Needs Reproduction label?

[aldo-expensify]

Nah, this GH issue description/title will be misleading of the actual cause. I'll create a new GH issue describing the connection state not reacting to an offline connection and add the Needs Reproduction.
