Error code 1503 eikon API

Frequently getting this error when using the eikon API.

Error code 1503 | Backend request failed. Post http:/Apps/DataGrid/StandardAsync: dial tcp: lookup views.cp.stc.reuint.com on 155.46.33.14:53: dial udp 155.46.33.14:53: socket: too many open files

Does anyone know what it means?

We are still getting random errors when we are confident we have not hit API limits. It seems like there is a soft limit which gets hit on too many refreshes. Situation is resolved after waiting a few hours or until the next day. Not ideal.

Drawdown,err = ek.get_data(list(AP_List['TR Code'].dropna().unique()), fields = ['TR.FundMaxDrawDown3Year'])

Hi @acathcart

I tested the field and it works fine.

Please share your AP_List variable.

Hi - it is a large ticker list - see below for a sample (680 in total). The issue is that sometimes the API call works and sometimes it doesnt. When it doesnt it often produces the 1503 error code, so I was wondering what that code represented (it isn't in the list of data limit error codes).
