There’s still ways to launch VRChat into offline mode or remove the content cache manually, by the way:

There is or was a known long-time issue with AT&T connectivity recently, if that applies to you.

I’m having this exact same issue and tried all the recommendations. The problem appears to be ISP related (in my case AT&T), so there’s not much that can be done on our end to correct it.  
But I do have good news too. I was able to work around the issue by using a VPN. Proton is a good free option.

Restart your router/modem! That has fixed the issue on my end.

also, you can clear the cache manually from file explorer. [Communauté Steam :: Guide :: Clearing / Moving The Cache [Updated 2025]](https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?l=french&id=1301018572)
