Using the developer SOAP API (endpoint soa-gw.canadapost.ca) from time to time I get the response below. Is there anything I should do about this?  
HTTP Response Status: 504

Hi iiiijjjjiiii,

We had an issue with CloudFront blocking some of our traffic on Thursday morning, it have since been resolved.

Please let us know if you still experience any issues.

Many thanks,  
The Developer Program team
