Curious if anyone knows why they would use xx instead of the number?

The HTTP response says 503, so the text is just generic for any 5xx error.

How do you know the HTTP response was 503? (sorry for the silly questions, I'm not a software engineer)

I looked at the headers returned from the server using developer tools. 503 is "Service Unavailable" and you often see it when a proxy can't reach the backend server.
