Read time out error. I am getting this error frequently while using the kiteconnect to automate my straddle strategy. I am pasting my code here. Can anyone help?

                    place_entry(bn)  # New Entry order at current bn price. creates new bn1 value with current bn

                    print('Trade time requirement not satisfied. Exiting all orders')
                    place_exit(bn1)
                    print('All order exit at ', bn1)

                k = k + 1

                if datetime.datetime.now() > exit_time:
                    print('Market End')
                    place_exit(bn1)
                    break

                t.sleep(2)


            except:
                continue
    t.sleep(5)
    b = b + 1

This is where I think am getting the error

while running_status(): # adjustment orders

        bn = kite.ltp('NSE:NIFTY BANK')['NSE:NIFTY BANK']['last_price']

Can anyone help?

I tried the try, except method, try, except ReadTimeOut: option, and things related to that but the error keeps coming

    try:
        #Add all the codes.
    except (exceptions.InputException, exceptions.TokenException):
        try:
           #ReLogin 
        except:
            logging.critical('Login Failed.')
    
    
    except (requests.exceptions.ConnectTimeout, requests.exceptions.ConnectionError):
        logging.critical('Kite Data Stream Disconnected.')
    
    except requests.exceptions.SSLError:
        logging.critical('Max retries exceeded with url.')
    
    except requests.exceptions.ReadTimeout:
        logging.critical('Kite is fucked.')
    
    break
    time.sleep(120)

Here You go.
