My alpaca connection was closed forcefully by error code 10054. The exception is requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: (‘Connection aborted.’, ConnectionResetError(10054, ‘An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host’, None, 10054, None)) and I could not connect again after the failure. ---

I can’t log in either. This happened the other day too. Hopefully this can be fixed soon. ---

I have the same problem regularly. I get the exception after a few minutes of stable use. I’m using tha alpaca\_trade\_api.REST(APCA\_API\_KEY, APCA\_API\_SECRET, APCA\_API\_BASE\_URL, ‘v2’) What could be the reason?
