What does the 503 log in the receiving Directus instance?

I ran into a 503 as well, and in my case it was because a file didn't exist in v8, which was returning a 500, which then resulted in the 503.

As a workaround a try/catch around the apiV9.post("/files/import" in files.js let's the remaining files continue, but perhaps some consideration is needed as to how this should be handled.

This would be a good in-between. It should definitely handle these one-off failures more gracefully (so you don't have to restart the whole process, though I'm wondering how/if we should keep track of the list of failed items, and offer some sort of way to try those again.

It might also pose a problem with relational fields that rely on the particular file that failed to insert, as it now no longer exists 🤔
