You might want to check if your banks ATM is functioning.  For example, it looks like both my banks are having a bad day:

https://downdetector.com/status/bank-of-america/

Most ATM's have a remote admin feature, which allows for remote reboots into safe mode, BIOS updates, hardware diagnostics, restores from backups, etc.  However, if your bank doesn't have a remote admin feature, it may be a while before someone visits the ATM with a fix.  Refilling a remote ATM with cash is done by a "custodian" company.  Most ATM's are owned, managed and serviced by various 3rd party ATM service companies and not by the bank.  I can only hope they have remote management features working and enabled or it will take a very long time to visit each ATM and fix the problem.
