Hi everyone, When i'm running my prefect agent i'm running into this issue

Copy code

raise PrefectHTTPStatusError.from_httpx_error(exc) from exc.__cause__  
prefect.exceptions.PrefectHTTPStatusError: Server error '503 Service Unavailable' for url 
For more information <https://httpstatuses.com/503>

and then my agent stops running is there a way to make sure my agent doesn't shut down? This has happened more than once and not sure if there's a a way to prevent this from happening?

On the latest version we added automatic retries on 503s

do you have the docs for that and how to use it?

Also is there a reason why these errors occur?

Was the cloud service down and it couldn't connect? @Zanie

Well there’s https://github.com/PrefectHQ/prefect/pull/6927

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 😄) perhaps your client is exhausting all of the retries

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