Bricked character/account?

Was playing Trial of Chaos and disconnected a few rounds in. No biggie, I try relog and am met with 20k ping and unable to do anything beyond a single movement before I completely freeze or disconnect again. I can relog sometimes but also get the failed to connect to instance. Even if I can relog half the attempts, I can't do a thing on most of my chars but for some reason my infernalist is fine and can do anything no problem. Both my invoker and chronomancer are bricked. I managed to get the chronomancer (the one this started on) out of toc and into the refuge by relogging 20x but this didnt fix the issue.

I am on steam client, tried restarting, different servers, my internet and hardware are fine as are my other chars. What the heck just happened?

Having the same issue right now.

it fixed itself. why and how i do not know
