Unspecified error - Cannot purchase any UPS labels

Unspecified error - Cannot purchase any UPS labels

I am trying to purchase a number of UPS labels and regardless of options selected, I get this vague error that does not indicate what the problem is. I suspect that it is related to my return address, but I have verified that is correct, it shows as "green" in my locations and is also identical to what the UPS verification shows.

If I click "Buy Shipping Label" I briefly get a popup titled "Verify UPS Shipping Address" but this dialog box disappears almost immediately and does not display any data. If I then try to Buy Label again, I get the attached error.

This is new behavior, I have used UPS labels in my store before and I need to get a variety of packages on their way. Any help or tips would be appreciated.

I was able to resolve this issue via contacting Help support. For future reference to anyone coming to this thread in the future, my UPS account had "gone dormant" since I had not used it in a while and tech support had to do a reset so that I could accept the terms again and confirm my addresses. This solved my issue.
