Recurring "temporary failure in name resolution" errors in always-on task

I know this issue has been raised before, but since the fix seems to require a cluster-level update, I'll share my logs here.

The task checks a database for records with a specific set of criteria every 5-10 seconds, it's been running since October, and this error did not seem to appear until mid-November, at which point it began to present on a non-uniform cadence. Sometimes multiple times per minute, sometimes only once per day. I edited the server name in the logs for security reasons, but if the exact host name is needed I can share with support over email.

Thanks for reporting -- we'll try to investigate what is going on there.

im getting:

socket.gaierror: [Errno -3] Temporary failure in name resolution

or

aiohttp.client_exceptions.ClientConnectorError: Cannot connect to host discord.com:443 ssl:default [Name or service not known].

ChatGPT claims its on you, guys. I’ve had this problem before, then it went away, and recently it came back.

We're going to put some mitigations during the deploy next week that hopefully will help with that.
