Uploads unavailable is not the same thing as server down.
Bernd has reported that the project has a throttling scheme when the upload requests exceed capacity, and that in recent times this has tended to activate during the weekends and largely to clear by end of the day Sunday.
Some uploads got through now and again here even at the peak congestion, and the success rate has gone way up in recent hours.I currently have just 13 pending uploads across three capable systems running GPU GRP tasks, where I had hundreds eight hours ago. This is not the fruit of manual retries, just letting the automation proceed.
I suspect if you wait a couple more hours you'll find things back to normal.
