Thank you for answering. Turns out there was a challenge with the hosting provider which somehow disconnected everything. When that challenge was resolved the existing key (still in place) just needed to be re-entered into the cleantalk dashboard (which I was struggling to find). All is well now.

Thanks for the insight.
It was rather odd to me. No issues for ages, then in 3 days a high number of lockouts (4 on wed; 0 on thur; 9 on fri; 29 on sat and so far 68 on sun)
The part that upset me most was when I noticed one of those failed attempts used an existing username (which I addressed, of course).
within 60 seconds of that change, a very specific no-longer-active username was attempted from 3 different IP addys in China.
