American Express: "Error Processing Request"

Temporary error in your online account

This shows in your Amex online account, for example in the Documents tab, when a request fails. Amex says to refresh or try again later.

Is American Express down right now? Operational: 11 problem reports in the last hour. If it were down for everyone, this error could come from there; right now it looks normal.
