Source Linker is now giving an error when trying to open a census record (Denmark)

I have been working on Danish records for years and usually the source linker makes it easy to connect these sources for people. Starting about yesterday, any Danish record source linker suggestions for 1916 and 1921 ( among a few others) shows a record link which looks good, but when clicking on it, it shows very briefly and then: "Something Went Wrong

Error loading source: /ark:/61903/1:1:Q2CC-998Q" and other times, if I try to get there clicking on the link in the left of the link (on the person's name), it says

"We're unable to show this record.This record can only be displayed on certain accounts. FamilySearch must honor the agreements we have with our partners, record owners, and internal policies."

I understand the restrictions placed on certain records, but these census records have always been available. I can get to them through the Danish national records ( but not as easily ) and through Ancestry.com, but it is much more difficult to link them if FamilySearch says it cannot be done after suggesting it.

I realize the amazing power of the source linker. There has got to be an enormous process to bring this all together. I just thought I would ask to see what might have stopped working in this case.
