You aren't the only ones. Either our node or our balance API is down. I just woke up moments ago and will do my best to fix it ASAP. After coffee, because you don't want me fat fingering the node like I just did to this issue ;)

You all crashed our node. We just fixed it and it should be good now. Let us know if you are still encountering issues. Thanks.

For future people: this issue occurs when our node goes down or something else goes ka-boom on the backend.

We've updated how things work a bit to try to prevent this from occurring but it may still happen in times of unusually high amounts of TXs or activity. The fastest way to let us know that the node is down is to email us. Typically we know about it in seconds due to our dedicated (albeit blunt) community pinging us like mad.
