Also, tiles can't be loaded up when we try to use tile server.
Are there any scheduled maintenance going on - could anyone advise on the timeframe?

The Wikimedia Maps service was recently hit with a large amount of traffic coming from non-Wikimedia websites that caused a service disruption. The Wikimedia Foundation system administrators decided to block all traffic to Wikimedia Maps from non-Wikimedia websites in order to ensure that it remained available for Wikimedia projects. The WMF has not yet decided how long this restriction will last or if it will become permanent. T244278 should have more information as it becomes available.
I would suggest that you choose a different tileserver.
