503

A 503 Service Unavailable response indicates that the API service can’t process your request at the moment due to circumstances outside of your direct control. It occurs when global rate limit was exceeded. This affects cumulative traffic across accounts, even if your own account is still within its rate limits.

To resolve:

  • Wait until the time specified in the retryAfter header before resubmitting your request.
  • If the issue persists for an extended period, contact ​Akamai​ support with the traceId from the response.
