Can't Add Circle - Come Back Tomorrow (and the next day, and the next...)

I tried "tomorrow" (today) and got the same message. It's like those signs in bars that say:

Free Beer! Come Back Tomorrow!

Can't Plus Google+

I used to be able to add Google+ to a post, I saw others add it today as a +link; it's not because it's public, tried without that...
