Description

This error message will appear in the makecode.microbit.org editor if the editor cannot connect to another cloud service, for example downloading an extension. The message might appear behind another window telling you that the extension is being downloaded. Sometimes this is due to the service throttling connections to prevent DoS attacks. See this issue on GitHub for further information.
