Comment (by jnylen0):

 XMLRPC does the same thing:

 {{{
 $ http POST https://nylen.io/wp-dev/xmlrpc.php
 HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable
 Connection: close
 Content-Encoding: gzip
 Content-Length: 242
 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8
 Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2016 17:11:28 GMT
 Retry-After: 600
 Server: Apache/2.2.22 (Debian)
 Vary: Accept-Encoding

 this is the content of .maintenance
         <!DOCTYPE html>
         <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
         <head>
         <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"
 />
                 <title>Maintenance</title>

         </head>
         <body>
                 <h1>Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check
 back in a minute.</h1>
         </body>
         </html>
 }}}

 This is very early in the load order and it would be difficult to fix
 without a hack like checking the request URL for `/wp-json(/|$)`.
