Windows 10: Can't get my bitlocker recovery code

My PC restarted out of nowhere and when it turned back on, it started asking for a bitlocker recovery code. I went to the link that was showed on the bitlocker message but it only tells me that there's been an error and that I should try later, I waited for 6 hours and the error is still there.

Hi Rick,

Please follow the suggestions below and check if you are able to boot to your desktop.

• Places to look for your BitLocker key:
  • On a printout you saved. Look in places you keep important papers.
    
  • Saved on a USB flash drive. Plug the USB flash drive into your locked PC and follow the instructions. If you saved the key as a text file on the flash drive, use a different computer to read the text file.
  • In your Microsoft account. To get your recovery key, go to
    BitLocker Recovery Keys.

• Or ask someone for help:
  • Ask someone with administrator privileges on the same PC to unlock it with their key.
  • If your PC is connected to a domain (usually a work or school computer), ask a system administrator for your recovery key
