Tried to save the internet archive's twitter page: https://web.archive.org/save/https://twitter.com/internetarchive

Resulted in the picture attached.

it appears when saving any page that is twitter, including the image URLs fails.

I also had that issue on September 19th a lot!

Apparently, I was not the only one.

I also have this problem today instead of saving the webpage, I get this message.

The same thing happened with me yesterday and is still happening today, only unlike last year's issue, it affects every page, not just Twitter. (It does not seem to happen when I copypaste a URL into the https://web.archive.org/save/ page.) Legend99, do you have that issue in the same way I do, or no?

Thank you, Hitsmello, this helped me!

I, too, found that when I went directly to https://web.archive.org/save/ and then entered the URL to be saved, it worked.

I tried a couple of other things, to no avail:

1. I cleared cookies etc. for archive.org, in Chrome's settings:

⋮ ➔ Settings ➔ Cookies and other site data ➔ See all cookies and site data
then search cookies for "archive.org"
then delete all cookies / Database storage / Local storage for "archive.org" and "web.archive.org"

That didn't solve it.

2. Tried a different web browser (Firefox).

That didn't solve it.

But, thanks to your suggestion, Hitsmello, I at least have a workaround.
