Error Code VAL 7

I have just updated the game and every time I launch the game I get this error and it says unable to connect to server and asks me to close game and restart the client! I have tried restarting Valorant and my pc several times and I have also reconnected to the WiFi (which is functioning perfectly fine) but I still get this error, what should I do? Can someone pls help me? Thanks :)
