BitBucket suddenly Failing to Accept Push: "kex_exchange_identification"

[John Meyer]

Problem occurred starting today at 3 PM, I have been using this for years.

kex_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host

Connection closed by 104.192.141.1 port 22

fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

Steps Taken:

Checked bitbucket status site, which reports 100.0% uptime.

Verified am able to push to gitHub.

Verified my account on Bitbucket is still active with a valid credit card.

I've been on Jira Clloud with Atlassian for years and have not been previously redirected to community support to report critical issues, so I'm not quite sure how to proceed.

[John Meyer · Accepted solution]

The status page reports the issue has been investigated and is now operational, and I am again able to push to the remote host.
