Azure DevOps Services pipeline: error 503 when downloading artifacts from Azure DevOps nuget feed

Question

I have a build pipeline that executes a dotnet restore for a .net solution. Often, the restore randomly fails with 503 errors like this:

/usr/share/dotnet/sdk/7.0.306/NuGet.targets(156,5): error : Response status code does not indicate success: 503 (The server is busy.). [/src/InvoiceData.Api.sln]
  Failed to download package 'AWSSDK.Core.3.7.100.14' from 'https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/[company name]/_packaging/c8965320-3e6d-42b1-99c9-e2b5151b9986/nuget/v3/flat2/awssdk.core/3.7.100.14/awssdk.core.3.7.100.14.nupkg'.
  Response status code does not indicate success: 503 (The server is busy.).

Sometimes the restore succeeds when I run the pipeline again.

What is the cause of the 503 error and how can I fix it?

Look at the Azure DevOps status: https://status.dev.azure.com/ Europe is affected — Cheesebaron, Jul 28 '23 at 10:50
@cheesebaron Thanks! It could indeed be a temporary problem. — oocx, Jul 28 '23 at 12:38

The problem was probably caused by a service degradation for Azure DevOps Artifacts. The problem disappeared after Microsoft resolved the issue.
