More annoying than debilitating, the error can be dismissed and music will play after another attempt to connect. The error also seems to pop up occasionally when no music is being played. Errors are being reported by MacRumors readers, redditors, and people on Apple's Support Communities.
Apple's System Status page is not reporting an outage at this time and the 503 error does not appear to be affecting all users. It is not clear what is causing the issue or when it will be fixed by Apple.
Since its June 30 debut, Apple Music has experienced a few outages, including an hour-long Beats 1 radio outage on launch day.

My first reaction, coming from years of Windows experience at work, was to reboot my iMac, and that fixed it. ;)

In Apple's case " It Works Just" when it comes to cloud based services!This happened to me for around an hour, and then after I restarted my router it disappeared. Maybe that was just coincidental though.
I've never had my router disappear after restarting.Anecdotal data only, I know.
