I'm getting the same as above, a 503. My network is nothing overly egregious - no IP proxies, no VPNs, firewall, etc. I've attempted to access Extensions occasionally over the course of ~6 hours with the same result each time.

Same error. It's like they were forcing us to use VSCode, there is working properly all extensions.

The issue resolved itself when the Open VSX became available.
