An existing feature does not function as intended
Description
After updating anything - a plugin, theme or core - the load-styles.php path often results in an HTTP 503 error on several installations. The error occurs after the update, not during the update.
The hosting company has carried out extensive tests over several days and can confirm that these errors are either resolvable by reloading the path an irregular number of times in the browser, or by restarting PHP. No error message is displayed or logged. This results in the admin being displayed entirely without CSS.
The error appears to be occurring when 6.3 or 6.3.1 is in use.
Step-by-step reproduction instructions
See above.
