Merge #1992

1992: Add user advice to `UnableToDetermineCurrentEpoch` error. r=jonathanknowles a=jonathanknowles # Issue Number #1939 # Overview This PR revises the error we show if we cannot determine the current epoch, inviting the user to wait and try again. # Comments Ideally, we'd be able to give the user some indication of _how long_ they should wait, but assuming we cannot reliably know this information, letting them know that waiting may resolve the issue is arguably better than giving no advice at all.
