Did you check the API documentation about the error codes: https://dev.fitbit.com/build/reference/web-api/troubleshooting-guide/error-handling/ 

It says 503 is server maintenance.

Hi @kis-inc 

I've been checking with engineering over the holidays and haven't not seen any wide reports of outages with the Web API.  Are you still getting the 503 error?
