Why was Destiny 2 down today? Hotfix 6.3.0.3 patch notes

Earlier today Destiny 2 went down for an hour booting players out of their sessions. This was due to scheduled maintenance set to occur at 9 AM PT. For an hour, Destiny 2 servers were offline, allowing the developers to roll out the update. However, the deployment wasn’t entirely smooth and players are now receiving new ‘ANTEATER’ errors. Players also seem to be missing rewards or XP after completing activities as well. Until the next fix rolls out, here are the changes implemented.
