So...here's a weird thing, and I just wanted to check if anyone else was having an issue.

My iPhone works with iMessage via my phone number, but after updating to iOS 11.2.5 & macOS 10.13.3, all my devices will not allow me to login using my Apple ID. I just get the "An error occured during authentication".

This is across all devices, so it seems to be an issue with my ID, or the activation server in general. Oddly, everything was working until last Monday, it seems, as that's the last day my I have any iMessages on any device other than my phone.

The System Status page says everything is working, green across the board as of now, and while I'll be contacting Apple Support, I was just wondering if anyone was having a similar issue.

Resolved.
For some reason, a spam lock had been placed on my Apple ID.

I have never knowingly spammed anyone via iMessage. So maybe there is a glitch in the Matrix or someone is out there pretending to be me.
