Error: runtime error: […] The server is probably too busy to handle your request.

Have been trying through Overpass Turbo and some other tools using a variety of API requests and getting the same error every time.

Have tried using a VPN in case I was rate limited as well with no change.

Which Overpass server are you trying to use? In Overpass Turbo, you can click Settings at the top to see which server it is, and you could also try one of the other ones in case one of the servers is just down.

//overpass-api.de/api/

I'm also using https://pypi.org/project/overpy/ which doesn't really let you define an Overpass server, but it's failing as well.

Still down.

It's not just turbo, a direct call to the API returns the same. It appears to be this specific server: //overpass-api.de/api/
