I've been getting OL-249 messages from my bank in Quicken 2006 for about the last week. I called the bank's technical support, and they say that Quicken had end-of-lifed Quicken 2006 for Mac.
Normally, that might be OK (where "OK" includes having a gun jabbed in your ribs like in a Bogart movie), but the current situation is double-extra screwed. Quicken Financial Life for Mac is still in beta, and the last I looked it was lacking several features that are show-stoppers for me (e.g., reporting and budgeting). Quicken for Mac 2007 is a dead man walking - it will be EOLed as soon as QFLM comes out.
So, I can't use my existing Quicken. The new Quicken is still not ready for prime-time. Therefore, my bank is effectively inaccessible from Quicken.
Update: as pointed out by a reader, there is a fix from Quicken - https://quicken.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/quicken.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=7368. It's a little weird, but it works.

It's crazy, but as a switcher, pretty much the only reason I run Parallels is for my old copy of Quicken 2007 Home & Business.
Tell us which bank. WaMu hasn't been giving me any problems, and I am using Quicken 2005 for Mac.
The OL-249 problem is easily fixed.

I was having an OL-248 message, and was also dismayed by the thought of having to buy 2007.
I used Intuit's chat support and after installing the new certificate several times (to no avail), the support person suggested I install the updates (I was only on release 2 and there are 6). Worked for me. https://quicken.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/quicken.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=3798
I quoted the first paragraph of your "game over" post, but he didn't comment...
Quicken Mac 2009 has disappeared from their site. No mention of it remains.
Shepard nailed it, once I got around to trying it out. It looks like I can download my transactions again. I guess I shouldn't have listened to the bank. Although, this is the oddest update procedure I've ever seen on the Mac, it worked.
