Server Version#:1.16.5.1554  
Player Version#: Web client, and windows desktop client 3.2.20-25990c77, Roku client (version unknown, but it is current)

For the past few weeks, I’ve been finding my server in an “offline” state in my clients. I verify that the Plex Media server is running, but if I try to browse to the server directly (https://:32400 - from the device itself, or another device on-network, I receive a 503 Server Unavailable error.

Restarting the server restores functionality, but it’s getting a bit old doing this every day (especially with kiddos that want to watch a movie right now… or when the new Tool album is on there, and daddy wants to listen to Tool RIGHT NOW).

Logs are attached - any insight/suggestions? Most recently I found it in this state this morning, around 8:30 AM
