There are, however, some instances where this error code is delivered and it has nothing to do with server maintenance.

You might also want to check the internet settings on the PS5 itself, in addition to testing the connection. If none of these fixes helps your situation, you might want to reach out to your internet service provider. They might be able to enlighten you as to a situation interrupting your PS5’s connection.
As stated above, there’s a significant chance that the server is simply undergoing maintenance, so please exercise patience. If you try to connect later, you may have more success!
