Hey David,
It's possible you experienced a transient issue which did not affect enough users to warrant a status post. It's good to program your systems to be fault-tolerant when the backbone functions of your system rely on API calls. This could mean simply retrying the request on error with an exponential backoff.
If you continue to see the issue manifest, feel free to either post in this thread to get our attention or post a
Public Issue Tracker thread with any relevant code, logs, time-frame and project ID. We'll be happy to assist in any way we can!
Regards,
Nick
