SessionHandler::write(): write wrote less bytes than requested

Howdy Gang,
I've hit a stumbling block here and it's killing me! I've been fine tuning a site for a client and wanted to test user registration. I logged out as an admin, registered and registered a new user. The confirmation for the new user didn't send so i went to inspect logs and see what was up.
In the logs I found an emailing error and the confirmation link for the new user.
I then pasted that into the browser with the hope of at least getting the user registered and then dealing with mail issue.

The pasted URL returns a 404. Strange.

Then I went back to login as the admin and I can no longer get in! My login attempts just loop me back to the login...

I went back to the logs to see what was up and found this:

Exception Occurred: /home1/babbletr/public_html/concrete/vendor/symfony/http-foundation/Symfony/Component/HttpFoundation/Session/Storage/Proxy/SessionHandlerProxy.php:77 SessionHandler::write(): write wrote less bytes than requested (2)

Can anyone shed some light on what might be going on here?

Update: I downloaded the whole site (took a good chunk of time) for some more granular troubleshooting on my local server and everything seems to be running fine. I went back to the live site to try and replicate the error and now everything works! I can login without issue!

My sneaking suspicion is that this can be traced back to bluehost making some changes on their end and it temporarily affecting the site, but if anyone else has any ideas i'd love to hear 'em!
