Kite Connect Login flow doesn't have any issues, and this error isn't related to the Kite Connect. Further, it is mandatory by the exchange that a user has to log in manually at least once a day. We don't recommend automating the Kite Connect login.
We've conducted tests by submitting multiple API requests across different time frames, and we haven't been able to replicate the delay you're seeing. Since Kite Connect is leveraged by a vast number of users and platforms, a server-side issue would…
