Zanie · Answer

There are a lot of reasons a 503 can occur but yes generally it means there s a disruption in the Cloud service or a service between you and Cloud

It actually looks like we added these retries in 2 4 1 I thought it was more recent smile perhaps your client is exhausting all of the retries

Zanie · Answer

We ve added generally better handling for 503s in later versions too
