Hi @jmeyer2485
I hope you are doing good today.
Does the site is behind Cloudflare? If so it could block the recheck. Please add you whitelist your site IP on the Cloudflare side.
You can check your site IP here https://dnschecker.org/

@wpmudevsupport13 I am not behind any Cloudflare, just a normal hosted website.
Hello @jmeyer2485
Would you please let us know a few pieces of information about your hosting?
– Is your site hosted on Apache or NGNIX?
– Please let us know where your site is hosted?

Hi @jmeyer2485
Thank you for the update.
The invalid request means anything is blocking the Defender to check the rules, it could be Cloudflare or any server firewall.
But since you are not using Cloudflare we would need to run a couple of tests first.
For the initial test can you please go to WordPress > Tools > Site Health and check if it is reporting any issue there?
In case no issue is being reported, go to the Defender page to re-check the status, click on the right button of mouse > Inspect to open the browser console, ( To find more about browser console ) https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Browser_Console
Click to re-check the status and let us know if you see any error, you can take a screenshot, upload it to Google Drive and share the link.
Best Regards
