I've been experiencing the same problem in Lightroom since this morning, Photoshop and Lightroom Classic works fine.

Okay, after I received a new dynamic IP address from my internet provider, the problem disappeared?!

Your account is working because you have to log in on the website to post here. That makes it a system problem. You may need to delete and reinstall the Creative Cloud app.

Maybe you should post in the Creative Cloud Desktop forum, rather than in the Lightroom Classic forum.
