Post Body

When I try to connect to the TWS API using

'''

util.logToConsole('DEBUG')

ib = IB()

ib.connect('127.0.0.1', 7456, clientId=1)

'''

every other time I get below error and it's so frustrating -

I see many posts related to it everywhere but no solution. Do any of you found a workaround or is there any robust way to connect to TWS API and maintain persistency in the connection.

Edwald died and ib_insync has been archived.

I've been using ib_async without this issue

https://github.com/ib-api-reloaded/ib_async

my code was using different clientIds (I randomized it), I don't recall why... but I recently set it to 0, needed to retrieve manually entered orders too ( https://www.interactivebrokers.com/campus/ibkr-api-page/twsapi-doc/#request-active-orders )
