Asus Unlock Tool not working on Zenfone 9

[someruser87]

Recently received an Asus Zenfone 9 and the Asus Unlock App is returning "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later.[24802]" when attempting to unlock the bootloader.  While running logcat I also see the following HTTP output:

Got some informations for you. A moderator did finally reply to a post (https://zentalk.asus.com/t5/zenfone-9/asus-quot-unlock-device-app-quot/td-p/370864/page/2) and a new and updated unlock app will be available at Q3. Still not satisfying that it takes this long but at least its something. Fingers crossed guys.

Thanks for relaying the message mister, wasn't aware of that other thread.

Same here, I wanted to unlock the bootloader to install Paranoid Android Custom ROM but the unlock tool doesnt seem to work. Is asus shutting down the unlock service for good or is it just down? I've seen thread about this exact issue dating back to last year october.
