I’ve started receiving the following error dialogue when attempting to report a pulse back:
Error while talking to website: SSL handshake failed. We recommend trying again in a little while.
My browser and curl don’t seem to have problems with the SSL cert on whatpulse.org. However, running whatpulse under dtruss, I saw the following output on attempt to open browser for login:

A system restart allowed a pulse after this error but the error returned when testing using a manual pulse. Curious issue, to the aps credit it has been a long time since I have encountered any issues.
Please give it some time. The caching time seems different per computer; but it will be cleared eventually and you’ll be able to pulse. All stats are simply kept a little longer on the client in the meantime.
Hello, sorry for the necroposting.
I have the same issue since January 29th, 2020.
I use Whatpulse since 2004, at the moment i have over 762.000 unpulsed keys. I haven’t given much thought into this issue lately, since over the years i even forget that i have got that tiny program recording keypresses at times, but I’d really like to know if there is a way to keep my unpulsed keys from vanishing, since I wasn’t able to solve the issue by myself, otherwise i’ll just have to reinstall or use a beta version and give up on the unpulsed keys.
My client is set to pulse every wednesday, but as i could see it has failed every wednesday for 10 months. Other programs are working fine on the same PC. I’ve tried adjusting firewall settings, but no luck.
I’m currently ranked 15th, those keys would boost me to 14th
Thanks in advance for your help

Don’t know if it’s useful, but it has the same error over the weeks
EDIT2:
I’ve updated the client to the new beta version 2.9b2, it worked and kept my unpulsed keys and i managed to pulse those as well. I’ll leave this here, should anyone else have the same problem.
Please don’t revive threads almost a year old - start a new thread. This was fixed in November of last year; make sure you’ve updated your client since.
