The application i am building relies quite heavily on the ckBTC minter always being working and available. However, I keep encountering this error:

```auto
 TemporarilyUnavailable: \"management call 'bitcoin_get_utxos' failed: 
canister error: IC0503: Error from Canister ghsi2-tqaaa-aaaan-aaaca-cai: 
Canister called `ic0.trap` with message: Panicked at 'Bitcoin API is disabled', 
canister/src/lib.rs:258:13.\n\

```

Can anyone say if Dfinity are working towards fixing this or if it is something i might be doing wrong when calling update balance?

Many thanks

I am also now encountering this error:
