ReadTimeout exception in kite.ltp API

mlearner

Got below exception at around 1:10 PM IST, 5 Jan '21 while invoking LTP API. This happened for about 2-3 minutes. And then did not have this problem.

Any issues with LTP API?

last_pos_price = kite.ltp(inst1,inst2)

  File "/home/ubuntu/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/kiteconnect/connect.py", line 595, in ltp
    return self._get("market.quote.ltp", {"i": ins})
