My site makes a lot of urlfetch.fetch calls and in the past week or so, I've seen batches of intermittent failures with that API, where they return a DeadlineExceededError exception, except for the first failure in the batch, which appears to be a DownloadError exception. We're running a REST API testing service, so it's not just that one destination server is down, the failures happen across all calls for that minute, then everything goes back to normal. Even calling my own AppEngine URL fails during the outage. I have a long deadline set for the call, so it's not just a small delay in API latency.
It last happened around 2014-03-26 16:16 UTC, and previously at 12:31 UTC. Prior to that, I see batches of failures at 2014-03-25 18:31 and 2014-03-24 19:32. Is anyone else seeing this, and/or what's the best way to get some support for this? I'm running Python, my app id is viatests.
