litellm - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug]:Persitent httpx.ConnectError under heavy load [1 participants]

*   Implement a custom transport to handle connection closures:
    ```python
import httpx

class CustomTransport(httpx.HTTPTransport):
    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(*args, **kwargs)
        self._closed = False

    def close(self):
        self._closed = True
        super().close()

    def is_closed(self):
        return self._closed

### Verification
To verify the fix, bombard the OpenAI model with requests and check for persistent `httpx.ConnectError`. If the error no longer occurs, the fix is successful.

### Extra Tips
*   Monitor the application for any other connection-related issues.
*   Consider implementing a circuit breaker pattern to detect and prevent cascading failures.
*   Refer to the `httpx` and `tenacity` documentation for more information on custom transports and retry mechanisms.
