Amazon ECS API spontaneous "(400) Bad Request" errors for ItemSearch()

Starting at about 11 PM CST on 5/29/2017, I began receiving "(400) Bad Request" errors for all my ItemSearch() calls. I am using the C# API and have been doing so successfully for well over a year now with no problems. No code or configuration has changed on my end, and I have been able to reproduce the error both in production and development. My security credentials appear to still be valid according to the IAM Management Console, and I haven't received any communications from Amazon that would indicate that my account has been deactivated or anything of that nature.
This is what is returned for all of my calls:
System.ServiceModel.ProtocolException: The remote server returned an unexpected response: (400) Bad Request. ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.

Is anyone else experiencing this?
I did check this very old thread, but I don't believe it's relevant given how this sprung up out of nowhere and has been working perfectly for so long.

DocuSign CreateAndSendEnvelope "Guid cannot be null"

I'm trying duplicate the sample code found here:
https://www.docusign.com/p/APIGuide/APIGuide.htm#Sending%20Group/Create%20and%20Send.htm
I copied the C# code to build the envelope and only adjusted for my environment.. sample file, email address etc. When I execute this I get the following exception:
A processing error occurred: System.ServiceModel.FaultException: The
request contained at least one invalid parameter. Guid cannot be null.

Has anyone seen this issue? I've looked over the Envelope, Recipient, Document, and Tab types on the API reference and I don't see any field that is a guid.

I found the issue. It looks like I missed setting up the Envelope.AccountId field.

TransactionAutoComplete set to false cannot be used with operations on callback contracts

A normal HTTP WCF Service is throwing this error when trying to connect to a legacy NetTCP binding. I want to be able to flow the transaction to the service and have that enabled. I am not using a duplex contract so why is it even mentioning a 'callback' contract in the error message?
Please just say if you need to see some more code, but I'll take any suggestions right now!
** the error is thrown when it's doing a ChannelFactory.CreateChannel()
The operation 'XService' on callback contract 'IXService' is configured with TransactionAutoComplete set to false. TransactionAutoComplete set to false cannot be used with operations on callback contracts.

I had the same problem.
I was starting a service programmaticaly all along with the configuration (base address, binding, endpoint,...).
I ended up exporting all configuration to the config file and it worked.

Asp.net Error running in release mode vs debug mode

When I run my asp.net application in debug it runs fine most of the time but if I switch it to Release mode I get the below error. I am not real sure why anyone have anything I can check into ?
System.Exception: Error getting user roles during authentication ---> System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityAccessDeniedException: Access is denied.

TimoutException occurs over a network but not locally

I have a program with three WCF services and when I run them locally (i.e: Server and Clients are all on localhost) everything works. However when I test them across a network I get a TimoutException on two services but not the other. I've disabled the firewalls on all the machines involved in the test. I can both ping the server and access the wsdl "You have created a service" webpage from the client
The service that works uses a BasicHttpBinding with streaming and the two which don't work use WSDualHttpBinding. The Services that use WSDualHttpBinding both have CallbackContracts. I apologise for the vagueness of this question but I'm not really sure what code to include or where to even start looking for the solution to this.
Non-working bindings:
public static Binding CreateHTTPBinding()
{
var binding = new WSDualHttpBinding();
binding.MessageEncoding = WSMessageEncoding.Mtom;
binding.MaxBufferPoolSize = 2147483647;
binding.MaxReceivedMessageSize = 2147483647;
binding.Security.Mode = WSDualHttpSecurityMode.None;
return binding;
}

You may enable System.Net tracing on both sides and read about the Timeout exception.

You are using a DualHttpBinding. What this means is that you are setting up a duplex channel, where server can send messages (not response message, but a incoming message) to client. But you haven't setup a clientBaseAddress where client will be listening for incoming messages from server. This is what is causing this issue. from http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.wsdualhttpbinding.aspx:
This binding requires that the client has a public URI that provides a callback endpoint for the service. This is provided by the ClientBaseAddress. A dual binding exposes the IP address of the client to the service. The client should use security to ensure that it only connects to services it trusts.
