UPDATE!
For the websites with issues they all use the same hosting company, but after checking, not all websites have the issue. I have just done a sync and the ones that show as connected all login fine from the single click, but some now show as disconnected, but are on the same server.. HOWEVER, i have just seen the message below as a status update from IONOS, so assuming it will clear once they have completed updating, i will repost here the conclusion, any advice would be appreciated though… ??

Scheduled
From 16 August 2023 to 31 August 2023, we will update the operating system on our Linux Shared Hosting product platform servers. You will benefit from better resource utilisation, increased system security and the use of current security protocols. If you are using an HTML/Javascript/CSS website or a PHP website created with a CMS such as WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Prestashop or self-developed, your website will continue to function without changes.
Scripts and applications currently running with Python version 2.7.16 must be updated to Python 3. Python version 2.7.16 will no longer be available after the update.
