2) Check your internet connection status

If it's not a server-side problem related to connectivity, it could be your own internet connection. Check whether you have connection issues and/or data loss by running an online speedtest. The usual checklist for connectivity troubleshooting can come in handy here:

• Flush your DNS from Command prompt.
• Restart your router.
• In very rare cases, it may be related to your current Network Driver. Go to Device Manager from the Start menu, scroll down to Network adapters, and select Update driver.
• Restarting your device/PC can also often solve lingering user-end connection problems.

4) Verify the integrity of your game files

As a last-ditch effort, you can see if the error is due to a file version mismatch or corrupted files. To remedy this, you can check for game files' health by verifying integrity. Regardless of the platform you're on, there should be an option to do this.

If none of these measures work and your internet is otherwise stable, it may be a rare case of an undocumented server outage. In that case, the only solution is to wait it out and check back in an hour.
