@keer2405 @admin I was also getting same errors.
I guess the certificates are not updated.

So as a bypass - I have updated my local cache of certificates in the python installation.

I had posted this issue in the morning when it suddenly started to happen

@daytrader - how to update the cache of certificates locally?
@admin - can you resolve this issue today itself? I am sure lot of users will be unhappy if they face it on Monday.

HI @prateekjjw001 @daytrader @keer2405 Thank you for brining this to our notice. We were in the process of updating the certificate and rolled it back due to this error yesterday.
