NLCD Explorer issues

The NLCD Land Cover Explorer is not working. I'm getting this error:

"This app is temporarily unavailable due to an issue fetching data from one of the data services.

Error message: Failed to fetch"

Any ideas?

Given it's a US federal dataset at its root and given some of the issues with data at that level over the last several months, is it possible the source data is down and/or otherwise unavailable?

I can't quite remember if the Explorer is an ESRI-hosted mirror or if it's polling directly from the NLCD source, at the moment.
