Intermittent 503 Errors with Microsoft Graph API: Get Calendar Events

Question

When I request the Get Events API (v1.0/me/events/), I frequently encounter 503 errors.

In some cases, it doesn't even return a 503 error but times out instead.

This issue started occurring around 23:30 (UTC) on May 23, 2024, and it is still happening intermittently.

Is there any issue on the server side that might be causing this?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi @tsujimoto taiki,

Thanks for reaching out!

I can understand that you are facing 503 errors intermittently.

503 error occurs when the service is temporarily unavailable for maintenance or is overloaded. You may repeat the request after a delay, the length of which may be specified in a Retry-After header.

I tried from my end. It works fine. I would recommend you repeat the request after a delay, the length of which may be specified in a Retry-After header.

Hope this helps.
