Hi @rrepaka! Is this an issue affecting sandbox and/or production? The more details you provide, the better we can help.

[rrepaka]

I am testing in sandbox , i am seeing socket exception very often...it works for couple of days all of sudden we see Socket timed out error during load testing...

@rrepaka Load testing on sandbox is not recommended. It is merely a test environment to make sure that you are making the right API calls with the expected parameters. The live production environment has more capacity than sandbox, so any load testing wouldn't really have accurate results.

If you want to load test your system without hitting PayPal's, a buddy recommended something like WireMock.

We are getting this from one week for normal functional test, due to this issue we are unable proceed with clean build. No load tests are carried out but the PayPal sandbox is failing to respond for each request.

@rrepaka @praveenpawar16 do you still see this issue? It is likely related to PayPal service downtime which you can check out from here

Closing due to inactivity. It seems sandbox was not stable when you saw the error which should have gone away. Please reopen if the problem does not disappear.
