When I try to edit my profile on any SE site, I get the following error:

Oops! There was a problem updating your profile: unusual error updating your profile -- please try again!

If it's relevant, this was tested in:

  • Brave 1.30.87 [Chromium 94.0.4606.71 (Official Build) (64-bit)] on Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS.

  • Microsoft Edge Version 94.0.992.38 (Official build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 Enterprise Version 20H2.

Looks like it's a regression of this bug: Unable to edit profile

    Just to check, you're not trying this on any sites where you are suspended, right? (If you are, that might explain the bug.)

    @EkadhSingh-ReinstateMonica No, I have no suspensions.

An earlier refactoring went a little too far and removed a bit of tech debt that looked unused, but wasn't.

The fix should be live in production now. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for the report!

    And some kind of regression test was added to detect similar problems(?).
