You shouldn't assume that he is correct either; i'm a free plan user and have never experienced this


If you're on free plan you have no way to know if this has happened to your website.


But, I thought in your case you did know something was wrong: client complained and you saw 503 errors?


> no way

you can (and should) put monitors on the outside of your infrastructure as well as inside. I've multiples hitting the login page and robots file where I work, and never got an unaccounted 503


Like I wrote, for some integrations it is not possible to gather all the logs. Also how will you know that a client accessing your website in a browser gets 503 instead of your web page?


You don't, but your monitors will show the 503 happening, how often, on which endpoint operation and in which regions; that will give you a pretty good picture of whether is actually your CDN layer or something else triggering the 503


What if it's a specific browser with a specific TLS stack, or something weird?


what if it's green lizard man chewing cables?

one has to start somewhere reasonable and realistic first.
