Why does my WebSocket connection keep disconnecting with code 1006 and no reason?

The WebSocket error code 1006 typically indicates that the connection was closed abnormally, without a proper closing handshake. This can be caused by several external or local factors:

Common Causes:

  • Unstable Internet Connection: Temporary drops or packet loss can trigger disconnections.
  • Firewall or Proxy: Network security layers may block or interrupt persistent WebSocket connections.
  • Client-Side Crashes: Application errors or memory leaks could cause forced shutdowns.
  • Timeouts or Rate Limits: Ensure you’re not exceeding subscription limits or timeouts set by your environment.

Troubleshooting Tips:

  • Ensure a stable and continuous internet connection.
  • Whitelist WebSocket traffic in your firewall or proxy settings.
  • Review your application logs for crashes or timeout issues.
  • Consider implementing reconnection logic in your WebSocket client to handle disconnects gracefully.

If the issue persists and you're on a corporate network, consult your network administrator or reach out to [email protected] for assistance.
