Don't treat this sub as Facebook Marketplace. Anyone agree?

Attempting to trade intraday, low cap. At least half a dozen times in the last week I've been blocked from opening positions, I'm looking at DSY soaring right now above $15 and I could have entered at $8 had IBKR let me. This never used to be an issue, I'd get the very occasional trading restriction, but recently it's been ridiculous, some of the biggest movers on a daily basis from the beginning of last week I've been blocked from opening positions with the instrument being in closing-only status. Other people in my community who I trade with who are on different brokers are not having this issue (ie WeBull). What the hell is going on?

To add. I'm an adult, trading small amounts of my own money, the risk to me is negligible, but the compounding gains would be worth the risk in spades.
