Ubuntu 20.04 - apt update not working on a fresh droplet

Question

I’ve created a fresh droplet and tried running apt-get update only to find it does not work producing the following error: Err:1 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu focal InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 104.21.29.13 80] Err:2 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu focal-updates InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 104.21.29.13 80] Err:3 http://mirrors.digitalocean.com/ubuntu focal-backports InRelease 403 Forbidden [IP: 104.21.29.13 80] Hit:4 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu focal-security InRelease Reading package lists… Done
