The docquery API will return 403 intermittently. Here is a sample from FecFileLoaderSB

[ERROR] FilingUnavailableError: The requested FEC file number (1351046) is unavailable. Status code 403.

This seems to be an unavoidable problem with docquery. To circumvent it I've set a high retry count for the SQS queues and am recycling the dead-letter queues back into the feeder queues.
