I've found the issue. My hosting company, Akamai (Linode), decided to forcibly migrate my primary database to another server without notice. I apologize for the downtime. Looking into mitigations.

My first update with transcripts is now in the App Store! It's a phased rollout that will auto-update over the next week for everyone, or you can update manually from the App Store app whenever you'd like.
