"Unexpected disconnection occured" when trying to enter a freshly opened map

This bricks my maps very often.

You open a map and can not enter it.
In campaign I had a workaround with creating a new instance.
With maps there is no such workaround. You just lose map cause you can't enter it.

Since it happens for years already could you add an option to create a new map instance you you are not able to connect to the instance.

Obviously you will never fix you servers. So PLEASE create a workaround for this case.

I have the same problem
I have been mapping since day 1 without problems then it started happening yesterday.
I’m having the same issue. When the league first launched, I kept getting the 'Failed to connect to instance' error. Then it went away and everything was working fine - but since November 5th, it’s happening again. Now every time I open a map, the error pops up again
Just figured out that I have already reported the very same issue in year 2023
