Transfer aborted: instance not found

Over the past two weeks since Shadowlands released I’ve been having issues with transfer aborted while trying to queue skirmishes, the issue has extended into the arena season where it is currently happening while queueing real arenas as well.

Some days are worse than others, but it has happened several times in the last hour. I also receive random disconnects back to login, and sometimes I will have problems after the game takes more than 10 seconds to load through the loading screen. For this problem the loading bar will be stuck at 0% for a few seconds and then slowly load me through, but once I make it through into the arena I will lag and DC so I’ll have to exit the game and restart.

If anyone has a fix for these it would be greatly appreciated, I have tried pretty much everything I can think of and I’m at my wits end. I’ve tried the scan and repair files, it came back with nothing. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling WOW and still have the same problems, I have deleted my caches, WTF folder, and I have also tried playing with no addons, and with addons that are fully up to date, but I still have this issue. It’s only happening for arenas.
