It may be that you have always had that error message, which is
non-fatal, but some other problem (probably at the other end, or a
connection issue) was causing the failure to receive the quotes, and
gave rise to the Unknown Failure message.

Whether you need to worry about the CA error or can just ignore it I don't know.
