in Eikon Data APIs

Hello,
I get the following error (see below with the code) when retrieving market data. My Eikon API with python has been working for months and only started failing yesterday. I contacted my account manager, nothing changed over the week-end on my account.. My Eikon app and Eikon add-in for Excel still work normally.

Simple code:

import eikon as ek

ek.set_app_key(xxxxxxxx)

spots = ek.get_data("EUR=", 'CF_LAST')

I get:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
EikonError                                Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-6-c8728b099fbf> in <module>
      1 import eikon as ek
      2 ek.set_app_key(eikonKey)
----> 3 spots = ek.get_data("EUR=", 'CF_LAST')

    178     if parameters: payload.update({'parameters': parameters})
--> 179     result = eikon.json_requests.send_json_request(DataGrid_UDF_endpoint, payload, debug=debug)

     99             else:

    Thanks for your help. Restarting my machine fixed the problem - but I can only do that overnight.

    I hope this won't happen too often.
