I have posted before regarding a 503 error.
I am getting at least 20 a day. My internet is delivered via satellite due to my rural location. My internet provider does have more than one line feeding into the satellite that then sends us all internet.
When one line slows down it switches or moves us onto the other to maintain a decent speed, I have always assumed that is why I have 503 error problems.
Today I was playing around with the new Opera GX Browser and turned the VPN on. Since doing so I have not had one 503 error.
Just reporting this as a possible workaround for any future problems

You are saying you get a 503 error, and then to "Please wait at least 5 seconds" screen?

Yes, at least 20x a day on average. Put it down to ISP, but since i tried the VPN i havent had one 503.
Just reporting a possible work around should somebody else have the same problem.

Yes, this will be network/ISP related. There's not really a lot we can do about that I am afraid, since it's an issue on your end.

Using a VPN may indeed be the best option for you.
