The paper account will give you access to the same data as the real account, but maybe you cannot access them both at the same time.

You have to allow the new IP on your demo TWS.

I just tried it and I didnt have any issues... i used TWS on two separate computers, one with IB Demo and the other with IB real... and just to clarify, I am subscribed to RT Market Data within my real account....

I would suggest you reach out to their tech support, there might be something with your setup...

that is very funky... and if nothing changed from your settings within the account management, maybe it indicates that IBKR changed something.. I would just reach out to them and let them know there is an issue.

As sysot1t suggested, you are probably better off contacting IB. This has been almost 4 hours since your first post about it and you have mentioned that this started last week. This is alot of wasted time. Have you contacted IB via chat, you probably would have had your answer by now. For these type off issues, this is always a good idea to go directly to the vendor first.
