rate_limit_unavailable

HTTP Status: 503 Category: Rate Limiting

When you see this​

The rate-limit backend (Redis) is temporarily unreachable so the middleware fails closed instead of serving unmetered traffic.

How to fix it​

Retry after a few seconds. If the error persists for more than 5 minutes, the platform is in a degraded state; check https://status.valara.cloud.
