Hopefully by now the choco client will be more resilient and informative about Chocolatey maintenance windows (and maybe even about any disruptions mentioned at status.chocolatey.org)

Reminder to check-out of the 2015 issue mentioned in the tweets below has been had any progress.
At the time of tweeting, choco has no notion of [Wayback/Archive] status.chocolatey.org which would be very helpful to point to in case of errors on time-outs on chocolatey server calls especially if it could interrogate and inform of maintenance windows and outages when things fail on the client side.
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “Will submit an issue shortly for the `choco` client be more informative about @chocolateynuget maintenance windows.
community.chocolatey.org/packages/wakemeonlanSearching for the 503 error, I first foundstatus.chocolatey.organd thentwitter.com/chocolateynuget/status/1550000306951299072`choco` could be aware of those too.”
- [Wayback/Archive] Gary Ewan Park on Twitter: “@jpluimers @chocolateynuget We try to be as transparent about outages as we can. I agree that having choco.exe be aware of these is a good idea though. There is already an issue for this here:
github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/37“
- [Wayback/Archive] Jeroen Wiert Pluimers on Twitter: “@gep13 @chocolateynuget Oh, that is cool! (and thanks for getting back to quickly) I know how much time new features take, so I am glad it is already on the list. Will cross link it from the relevant issues I found while searching.”
As a result, I did some Chocolatey community work cross-linking relevant Github issues from [Wayback/Archive] Issues · chocolatey/choco: The operation has timed out:
- [Wayback/Archive] Receive messages (like maintenance messages) from servers · Issue #37 · chocolatey/choco
- [Wayback/Archive] Chocolatey reporting success when install fails with 503 error · Issue #1609 · chocolatey/choco
- [Wayback/Archive] Severe reliability issue on API endpoint https://chocolatey.org/api/v2/ · Issue #1629 · chocolatey/choco
- [Wayback/Archive] Can’t upgrade packages: “The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable.” · Issue #1684 · chocolatey/choco
