Prefect Community

<@ULVA73B9P> I am running a short script locally against my Prefect Cloud development environment. The script works fine and I don't see any events in the Event Feed but I am seeing this in the local logs:
```15:49:53.169 | ERROR   | GlobalEventLoopThread | prefect._internal.concurrency - Service 'EventsWorker' failed with 1 pending items.
15:49:53.222 | DEBUG   | prefect.client - Received response with retryable status code 503. Another attempt will be made in 1.7538579754265518s. This is attempt 1/6.
15:49:53.475 | ERROR   | GlobalEventLoopThread | prefect._internal.concurrency - Service 'EventsWorker' failed with 2 pending items.```
Provide insight from existing issues and suggest troubleshooting steps.

It seems that documentation on the specific `EventsWorker` and `503` status code messages you're experiencing is a bit scarce. However, from the excerpt provided, we can infer that workers are a critical part of Prefect's execution model, which might be related to your issue.

Here are some troubleshooting steps based on the information we have:

1. **Check Work Pool Status:**
   Make sure that the work pool you're using is properly configured and ready to submit work. The red status icon in the Prefect UI may indicate an issue with the work pool. Make sure the worker is started and polling the Prefect API successfully.

2. **Retryable Status Code 503:**
   The `503` status code indicates that the service is temporarily unavailable, generally because the server is overloaded or down for maintenance. Prefect's client will automatically retry the request. If this error continues, consider checking Prefect services' health and availability in the cloud environment.

3. **Review Prefect Release Notes:**
   The release notes mention enhancements about choosing concurrency limits, handling errors gracefully, and introducing work pool and worker status. Make sure your Prefect Cloud environment and local Prefect version align with these enhancements and consider any related adjustments.

4. **GitHub Issues:**
   No relevant open issues were found on GitHub. However, it might still be worthwhile to look through closed issues or post a new one if the problem persists.

If you continue to face issues, you may consider reaching out to Prefect support or the Prefect community forums for more specific guidance.

hi <@U05KDG0D55M> - we had a brief issue with client side writes of events that’d be consistent what you were seeing there - apologies on that. let us know anything persists
