I am using Django rest framework for serving APIs for my microservices
based application. These microservices run inside kubernetes with pods and
there are different environments for dev/stg/prod.
Prod and stg can scale the number of pods as per traffic.

We have written a Kafka broker consumer script which is run as a manage.py
command. The handle method of the command has the following code. This
script internally calls methods of AuthTask( ) class internally and
handles events on these published topics. These event handler functions of
AuthTasks( ) makes queries ex User.objects.get( pk = 1) and randomly at
some point of time it gives the above mentioned error i.e Connection
already closed.
This has been reported by one fellow developer in one of the forum post
but we could not reach solution ( tough luck ).
**As per the discussion and poinyted out by forum member these manage.py
command scripts run for weeks, sometimes even months, but never any
longer than a few months as this error knocks them out.**

This error happens randomly in time so reproducibility might be very tough
but I am attaching the traceback of the error which we keep receiving from
time to time in this script

**Tracebacks
