RH claimed it was just infrastructure instability. Surprisingly they had the same bug 4 years ago, what a coincidence…  
Edit: that screenshot was taken yesterday, not today lol

that screenshot proves nothing. Option requests are sent prior to the actual request and is not executing anything. Their service is down and that 503 error would appear no matter what you send.

This is just a hoax, there’s no bug here in the logs… in fact it shows how well RH’s infrastructure is setup, with CORS check enabled.
