Unable to establish session to ssh gateway / ssh connection timeout (mySQL)

I have a paid pythonanywhere hacker account. I managed to setup my database with my django project as well as MySQL workbench. Everything was working fine up till the night of 28th Jan 2023. The next day (29 Jan 2023), when I tried to runserver from my project, I was hit with different errors: OperationalError 2013, unable to establish session to ssh gateway / ssh connection timeout / Lost connection to server at 'handshake: reading initial communication packet', system error: 0"). MySQL workbench also had the connection timeout error and was not able to establish a connection.

I did not change any passwords or settings since I first set up my project and everything had been working fine up till yesterday.

Is it possible that pythonanywhere's mysql server is down or something...?

I have tried countless solutions from Google, Stackoverflow as well as PythonAnywhere forums and have yet to solve my issue.

Please advise. :(
