    Can you let us know for which API call you are getting this?

    I have told in the other thread as well, it is thrown whatever the first API call is, the current screenshot is for

    Fno_Instruments=kite.instruments('NFO')).sort_values(by='expiry')

    We have applied a potential fix to this issue last week. Let us know if this is occurring again.

    Did not occur post that. But the timed out screwed up a lot of trades for me today.

    Can you paste here detailed debug log along with the requested API end-point here? Are time-out specific only for an API call or for all kiteconnect API end-points?

    I am not saving the logs , It occurred for different calls so I am not really sure if it is for a specific call.

    Whenever the same API call is being sent in a loop this error is thrown .
    It's not recommended to download the instrument file for each request, but store it once at the start of the day locally and consume the same for further requests. The warning section in the documentation explains the same.

    Are you making API calls exceeding the rate limits, in the loop? Add some seconds delay, for the next request in the loop.
