With doing API calls into ServiceNow and we're getting connection refused regularly.

Also the developer page is saying my instance is offline every few min

so I think there is an issue with my instance but not sure what to do.

https://developer.servicenow.com/

Refresh and it wakes up, and works for a second, then we get an email stating

Your personal development instance: dev202101 is now available. We apologize if the recent unavailability has impacted you in any way.

Thanks for being an active member of the ServiceNow Developer Program.

Best Regards,
ServiceNow Developer Team
