I had the same problem with me, and when I looked at the responses, I was sure that there is no solution to the problem through Adobe staff .. this is a waste of time, nothing more

Hi @ahmd26386005ik25 error 503f indicates the inability to verify the account while attempting to publish.

Check your firewall/wifi settings or the steps outlined in this document:

So strange nobody replied to this at the time.

 

There's a troubleshooting guide here

Outside of this

 

If a document is not behaving well then try 

File>Export 

Choose IDML

Open the IDML in InDesign
Save the file as a new InDesign file with a new name
See if the issue persists.

Try resetting your preferences:
The easiest way to reset everything is to delete the InDesign preferences: as soon as InDesign starts to boot hold down Shift, Alt, Ctrl (and Apple/Cmd if working on a Macintosh). A dialog will appear asking to delete the InDesign Preferences, select 'Yes' on this dialog.
