I feel the title editorializes a bit too much. The thread only confirms the bug, not a specific cause yet. As sibling comments indicate, the effect on GrapheneOS users is undetermined.

For me, the issue also only occurs sometimes. Usually I can download apps like normal.

  Even in the last days? If you use anonymous accounts it seems to affect everyone, when it works it only works for a few downloads

    Yeah, just updated my apps without an account.

      Maybe you've been lucky, unless a user's location or activity plays a part in the issue

This is standart, and happens constantly with Invidious (youtube frontend). This happened before on AuroraOSS too. They probably just flagged the accounts and no API change or A/B testing an API change.

This also has nothing to do with GrapheneOS except for some user overlap.

  If anything, it seems more poised to damage the usability of systems which actively rely on Aurora Store, like CalyxOS and the likes. Graphene actively discourages using Aurora.

Yeah, this seems to have nothing to do with GrapheneOS. There's some account used by default when you don't use your own in Aurora, and Google has started seeing too much traffic to the Play Store APIs from it. I'm surprised it took this long tbh. The server busy errors are transient and go away after a while, but if the load persists, they'll come back.
