I have been using the Watson API for a long time now, however it has started giving me Code:503 errors recently for the past 4 days and I am rarely able to get the desired output which I used to. The code works fine and is unchanged.
This is the error I am receving.
watson_developer_cloud.watson_service.WatsonApiException: Error: <HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>Internal Server Error</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Internal Server Error - Write</H1>
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to
complete your request.<P>
Reference #4.327f1cb8.1597063995.c75870b
</BODY></HTML>
, Code: 503
Is it because of the overload on IBM cloud during the past couple of days or is there any network issues at my end?

I had the same issue, I was using NodeJS and adding an extra "/" at the end of the URL seemed to work from the example found here: https://cloud.ibm.com/apidocs/speech-to-text?code=node#recognize
const speechToText = new SpeechToTextV1({
authenticator: new IamAuthenticator({
apikey: 'xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx',
}),
serviceUrl: 'https://api.us-east.speech-to-text.watson.cloud.ibm.com/instances/xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx/',
});
^Note the extra "/" at the end of service URL
