Not updating addons - stuck on the Updating action
 

Tried updating some addons this morning and it freezes on the update/download stage.

Looks like it's related to this error from the log

Appears to be resolved this morning

Hrm, I have not seen that specific error yet with Minion. Thank you for posting your log!

I'm going to talk to a few co-workers about this and see what really failed. Since it cleared up for you now I'm thinking it must have been API or CDN related and not really Minions fault other than it handled an unexpected situation poorly.
