Description

I've been regularly getting 503 errors when importing a process template of late.

Research direction

Start by examining output.zip and the associated exported process file, then inspect the process-migrator import entry point and reproduce repeated imports against the same source and target. Compare the failed and successful attempts to identify the cause of the intermittent 503 responses; done means the import completes reliably or the failure is covered by a reproducible test.
