WordPress.org blocked access for WP Engine to their developer account on the website. This means they can no longer push out plugin updates via this path.[0] This comes straight from Matt Mullenweg himself in an interview done today.

Seems to me that after maybe an initial disruption in updates while they whip up a patch, WPE can distribute updates for ACF to their own customers just fine, whereas MM has basically blocked updates to every other host, including wordpress.com itself. Stable genius right here...
