Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.kite.trade', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=7)

@rakeshr , I am trading straddle and when i try to exit the position, only one leg is exited and other leg throws error " Error: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='api.kite.trade', port=443): Read timed out. (read timeout=7)". It has been happening consistently from past two days. Please help me out.

I am using the following code to exit the position.

def EXIT_SELL_ORDER (symbol,how_many_lot):
global u
exchange = 'NSE_FO'
try:
status = u.place_order(transaction_type=u.TRANSACTION_TYPE_BUY,
exchange=u.EXCHANGE_NFO,# transaction_type
tradingsymbol=symbol, # instrument
quantity=(how_many_lot * 25), # quantity
order_type=u.ORDER_TYPE_MARKET, # order_type
product=u.PRODUCT_MIS, # product_type
variety=u.VARIETY_REGULAR
) # trailing_ticks
order_id = int(status)
return order_id
