This error started today and it seems others have had this issue in the past but there was no resolution other than 'temporary issue". Is there a resolution to this?
Exception has occurred: ConnectTimeout
HTTPSConnectionPool(host=‘paper-api.alpaca.markets’, port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v2/positions (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000002508212F8B0>, ‘Connection to paper-api.alpaca.markets timed out. (connect timeout=None)’))
I was also facing the problem on /v2/positions end point in my live account. In my case it was on SMCI ticker. Coincidentally I had updated my algo just a day before and was looking for problem in my update which I just couldn’t find.
I see the issue with /v2/positions as well. This morning I saw that call to get latest 1 minute candle took about 70 retries before a successful response. Retries are set for 5 seconds intervals.
Alpaca servers are probably overwhelmed by the API calls or they are throttling these responses. Either way, it is a problem.
