The devs put that in place to punish cheats who were backing up their saves or something. Unfortunately lots of normal, fair players get hit too. I had it happen to me about a month ago, but it only lasted a couple days and hasn't come back since.

Unless anyone has a better idea all I can suggest is to test it occasionally with low level gear until you can confirm it has stopped.
