Bamboo returns :closed error

I have a production system, that queues emails in Oban. It sends the emails with Bamboo.Mailer.deliver_now!/4, but it fails with the error (Bamboo.ApiError) :closed a couple of times, until it succeeds, after 2-5 tries.
We use MailGun to send the emails. I contacted MailGun and they can not see anything wrong on their end, I have no idea where to look anymore.

The “fix” right now, is just to try to rerun the job up until 10 times, with a backoff of 15 seconds.
Anyone who has experienced something similar?

Here is the errror:

Attempt 1—now

:waving_hand:

Just a guess: the HTTP connection to Mailgun probably gets closed while in the pool. E.g. because it wasn’t used for a long time. And it probably happens to many connections in that pool, so it takes that many retries to find one that’s still connected.

I was about to say almost the same as @ruslandoga – try using an HTTP client that does not keep open connections in a pool but always opens them afresh instead (Mint / Finch might be able to do the same with config options as well btw).
