This is how a profitable position ends up losing due to unreliable SmartAPIs: Max retries exceeded with url: /rest/secure/angelbroking/order/v1/placeOrder (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError

projectSB

Could someone please explain why I got this error while placing orders today?

Sequence of events:
1 order was placed and it was Completed
LOG entry: 2024-02-16 15:04:40,330 BUY avgPrice of BANKNIFTY29FEB2446600CE: 623.45 order_ID: 240216001663375 complete

The second order got the following error:

LOG entry: 2024-02-16 15:04:47,346 HTTPSConnectionPool(host='apiconnect.angelbroking.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /rest/secure/angelbroking/order/v1/placeOrder (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x0F5F12C8>, 'Connection to apiconnect.angelbroking.com timed out. (connect timeout=7)'))

Client code: S382492

Note:

The failed order did not reach the portal at all. Had to exit remaining ones manually, with loss!
I have been using the same code block for last few days, and it was working fine, so its NOT a code issue.
It was only the 2nd order, thus rate limit could NOT have exceeded.

Please provide a proper explanation, and how to rectify it. Else I will have to switch back to Zerodha. Also, try answering my previous queries, which are still open without replies.
