Why am I being asked for a code to login after being idle for too long?

I got logged out for being idle for too long (PC-EU).
It then prompted me to enter an emailed code so I could login. Using the code I got failed multiple times and now I have to wait at least 10 minutes to try again, though the prompt said to try 24 hours later. Why a full day before I can access my account from the same place I have been using all day?
I think this is a PC-EU problem because I just logged into PC-NA without any problems. I may miss some rewards today, but not much I can do about that.

jaekobcaed✭✭✭I've noticed this can happen with VPNs as NoSoup implied. If you're using a VPN and the VPN supports split tunneling, try excluding ESO from it.Isachar Daerenfel of Alinor, Psijic Sage, Master Wizard of the Mage's Guild and heir to the Daerenfel Trading Co.

No I did not. I cut and pasted it in as I always do, from my password manager.
I entered the exact code in the emails.
Note that I was not prompted when I went back about an hour later, so something is messed up in the system that can give this result at times.PC

It was not a true error, but one related to the general access problems at the time, at least in my case. It went away in about an hour and no code was needed.PC
