Plaid's flakiness / reliance on screen scraping is probably that a lot of these banks don't expose APIs / OAuth etc.

It’s something I hit often and have to do the old microdeposit thing (if I can even figure out how to trick the service into allowing me to do that at all).
Does fidelity just have some sort of broken setup?
> To maintain system stability, Fidelity currently limits access during high-volume windows. As a result, please expect unavailability between 9-10:30am and 3-4:30pm ET. We recommend end users link Fidelity accounts between 5pm - 9am ET.
The host knows when they break. Or if they don't, they should, via automated tests.
Tell me "It's down." Not some bullshit about experiencing temporary difficulties.
