kite_connect.place_order() method returning None even after placing the order (rare case)

sometimes, the place_order method of the kite_connect API returns None even after placing an actual order. Here is how I deal with this situation.
In my order execution block, I generate a unique tag string for each order that has to be sent, then just after the API call, I check if the the order is not None.
If it is None, then I would call the kite_connect.orders() API call, and extract the order_id with respect to the unique tag value that I used previously to place the order.

# python code
from kiteconnect import KiteConnect
kite_connect = KiteConnect(api_key="your_api_key")
kite_connect.set_access_token(access_token="your_access_token")

# create a unique tag for each order that you send to the broker via API
tag = "xyz_123"

order_id = kite_connect.place_order(
                variety=kite_connect.VARIETY_REGULAR,
                exchange='MCX',
                tradingsymbol="CRUDEOIL24SEPFUT",
                transaction_type='BUY',
                quantity=1,
                product='NRML',
                order_type=kite_connect.ORDER_TYPE_LIMIT,
                price=5600,
                tag=tag
            )

if not order_id:
    order_id_list = [i for i in kite_connect.orders() if i['tag']==tag]
    if len(order_id_list)>0:
        order_id = order_id_list[0]['order_id']

# if the order_id is still None and there is no error produced in your place_order API call, you must check the broker terminal immediately to see if any order is placed.
