As of 7:13 am ET this morning, Google has confirmed an issue with Google Ads where advertisers "may not have access to the most recent data," Google said.
Google posted the issue just now, saying," We're investigating reports of an issue with Google Ads. We will provide more information shortly. The affected users are able to access Google Ads, but may not have access to the most recent data."
So you should be able to access Google Ads but if you want to see if an ad is performing well in the past few hours or so, that data might not be available or might be wrong.
Google did not post an estimate time for when the issue will be resolved but I will make sure to update this post as I learn more.
Here are some complaints I found on this issue on Twitter:
Google Ads and GA4 not tracking data since 9am this morning. Potentially EU-wide

Are any non-EU accounts seeing the same? https://t.co/hG1m2lrhvK
Ads seem to be running for clients but no data is being pulled into Google Ads 🤔

Google is aware of the issue and working on a fix.
Update: Ginny Marvin, the Google Ads Liaison, replied:
