Before the "Error 503 Service Unavailable" messages appeared, there were a few minutes where the error was a single line:

    connection failure

Not sure if that provides anyone here with more insight into what might have caused this!

I got that, then a 'Fastly unknown domain' error (on Reddit), then the 503s on multiple sites (I also had an API I use return a 502 then a 500 error, but I don't know what the full response was as it was just a quickly thrown together script I was using).

Edit: and now "I/O error" on Reddit.

I also saw a glimpse of 'I/O error'. That sounds fun.

It was `connection failure` for me.
