No longer able to deploy cloud function via "firebase deploy" command - receiving error: "HTTP Error: 503, The service is currently unavailable"
I previously had a single function deployed and working until a slight modification was causing an authentication error, so I temporarily deleted it until I had time to fix the error.
So a couple days pass, I modify the original code (just added a bit of code relating to service account credentials, didn't even modify the actual function) and tried to re-deploy it (using 'firebase deploy') however it's throwing the following error: "HTTP Error: 503, The service is currently unavailable".
I thought maybe the service is currently down, but Firebase Status Dashboard shows all services are green and noone else seems to be complaining about this error at the moment. I've tried reinstalling/updating firebase-tools and even reverting the functions index.js code back to what it had been when I last successfully deployed, but same error every time. I don't think it has anything to do with the code on my end, but perhaps some weird bug relating to my account/api/authentication.
I've submitted a tech support question on firebase and am awaiting response, but thought I'd try my luck here as well.
Any suggestions?
