If you get debug logs from the client then it may inform. Using logger:

logger:
  default: info
  logs:
    homeassistant.components.rainbird.coordinator: debug
    pyrainbird.async_client: debug

My generally impression is that the device returns 503 Service Unavailable when it is busy.

One thing I am confused by is why you’re seeing this so often. My impression was that you should only see this if the device ping pongs between healthy and not-healthy, so it implies some requests are succeeding in between. I am confused by that because the polling time is every minute.

The debug info may give us insights to be able to answer those questions.
