@awilliams_kingston said in 503 Service Unavailable (temporary?) Rogerbot takes a break:
A lot of my Moz duties seem to be setting hundreds of issues to ignore because my site was getting crawled while under maintenance. Why can't Rogerbot take a break after running into a few of these and then try again later? Is there an official code for Temporary Service Unavailability that can smart bots pause crawls so that they are not wasting compute, bandwidth, crawl budget and my time?
You can use HTTP status code 503 for Temporary Service Unavailability to signal bots to pause crawls and try later.
