Any pointers on how to debug this error "Metadata request (/flows/UseImageFlow) failed (code 504): {"message": "Endpoint request timed out"}"

<@U05G4377135> <@U01UL7YFXDE> I'm running into the same error for all jobs today. how did you resolve it? what could be causing the issue?

find out the metadata service url like this:
```metaflow configure show | grep METAFLOW_SERVICE_URL```
and then try connecting to the metadata service on the command line like this:
```curl [METADATA_SERVICE_URL]```
it'll show if you are able to connect to the service at all

you should see something like
```&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;&lt;title&gt;403 Forbidden&lt;/title&gt;&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;h1&gt;403 Forbidden&lt;/h1&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;hr&gt;&lt;center&gt;nginx&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;```
if the connection works ok

if not, then it's some other AWS/networking issue
