Seems like you are using connection pools, and they time out

https://github.com/benoitc/hackney/blob/daf085bbe673476cca05b76f99fa9d13ce2b69f5/src/hackney.erl#L242-L243

{checkout_timeout, infinity | integer()}: timeout used when checking out a socket from the pool, in milliseconds. Default is 8000

Hi, I'm having the same error sometimes but I haven't configured any specific pool, I just want HTTPoison to be able to do unlimited request in parallel, how do I achieve this?

The cause of this is the hackney documentation not being clear (see benoitc/hackney#507). If you don't specify any pool option, it will use the default pool. You can disable this functionality by adding this to your environment configuration:

config :hackney, use_default_pool: false

I have this

      :hackney_pool.child_spec(:snapshot_pool, [timeout: 5000, max_connections: 1000]),
      :hackney_pool.child_spec(:seaweedfs_upload_pool, [timeout: 5000, max_connections: 1000]),

But i am still getting the same issue
