So if you are one of the Playstation users who is having this error then first go to the PSN server status page and check if they are showing any issue with any of their services. If yes then this is the reason you are having this error.

So to confirm whether this you can visit downdetector.com to check if downdetector is showing any reported outrage in the past few hours or days.

If the downdetector is also not showing any issue with the Playstation service then power off your console and internet. And restart them after 5 minutes. After that go to any speed test website and check if you are having a good stable internet connection with good speed.

If restarting the console and the internet doesn’t resolve the error then better wait for some hours and try again. Or you can also connect with Playstation support for any update.

You can also visit this page https://www.playstation.com/en-in/support/hardware/. And if on this page you can see the notification that “PlayStation is experiencing delays in service” then it clearly indicates that Playstation is having some issues because of any outrage or traffic overload.
