Thanks Daniel,

That may be a good explanation why error are happening around at the same request. I struggled to see what can explain the errors to be so “consistent”!

I will dig further into the port exhaustion explanation,

Thanks

In your email snippet it stopped after about 5000*3+1370 (16370) rounds.

After 16,000 or so connections (within one or just a few seconds) it fails to
connect. To me, that indicates that a resource of some sort has run out, which
possibly makes curl fail to create the new socket.

Could it be ephemeral port exhaustion? macOS is said to have 16384 such ports
(49152 to 65535), and it can't reuse them immediately.

Linux seems to use a much wider range by default.
