API Bugs

Hello, i try to change an image using the following resonse code -

response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-4.1",
    input=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": [
                {"type": "input_text", "text": prompt},
                {
                    "type": "input_image",
                    "image_url": f"data:image/jpeg;base64,{base64_image1}",
                }
            ],
        }
    ],
    tools=[{"type": "image_generation"}],
)

image_generation_calls = [
  output
  for output in response.output
  if output.type == "image_generation_call"
]

image_data = [output.result for output in image_generation_calls]

Sometimes this code works with a correct output but very often i just get this connection error:

Is there anything i prevent this?
Is this normal that there is so ofte a connection error?
