Unable to join the channel. You have joined the maximum number of this channel type. Error 10017.

I played all day today and yesterday without any problems and about 1 hour ago the game sarted freezing for no reason and kept getting random disconnects. I thought it was my internet connection but my fionce was also playing diablo with me on her laptop and she didnt have any problems. (she is still playing as i write this without problems while my problem persists.)
After a few disconnects then game completely broke, giving me the error above everytime i try to create a game or join another. I tried turning off the router for 5 mins and game fix from battle net application but nothing worked.

What is wrong with the game and why did it go awol?

The 10017 error is still being investigated but I'm told they're close to a solution. There aren't any verified workarounds you can use if it happens to you really. It occurs typically if you're playing in a multiplayer game and get abnormally disconnected but one or more of the others in your party aren't. Sometimes when this happens, you'll get the error trying to get back in. It should stop once the game you were in closes but I've seen where that's not always the case as well.

I believe I've seen users report that connecting to another region and then going back to their regular one can help too, but it's not confirmed that this will work.

We do apologize for the time it's taken to get this issue resolved. Hopefully we'll see the end of it soon.
