Roku /keypress ECP command returning HTTP status code 401

Hi, I'm having a weird issue where one of the Roku Ultra devices I have is returning a 401 status code when trying to perform any keypress/keydown/keyup ECP commands. Any other ECP commands I tested...

This is happening to me suddenly starting today.

Repro (use your own IP and port number):

const response = fetch("http://192.168.x.x:port_number/keypress/home", {
method: "POST"
}).then(response => {
console.log("Response code:", response.status);
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error('Network response was not ok');
}

console.log("Response code:", response.status);
return response.text();
}).then(data => {
if (data) {
return JSON.parse(data);
} else {
console.log('No data to parse');
}
}).catch(error => { console.error('Error:', error); });
console.log("Roku Home button pressed");
return response;

Output:
Roku Home button pressed
roku.js:21
Response code: 401
roku.js:6
Error: Error: Network response was not ok

I was able to reproduce the same with curl, and it affected all computers in my environment on the same day today.

  A simple curl example:
  curl -v -d '' "http://your-ip:8060/keypress/home"
  Output
