Overpass Turbo API - max retries

[vwvbrand]

Overpass Turbo API results in SSLEOFError (aborted connection because max retries exceeded with url).
Experienced with the query to fetch roads for the bounding box of Northern England: 52.98893670759685,-2.7876213063263044,54.755166952963556,-1.1889035388429525

The full query is the following:

query_roads = f"""
[out:json]
[maxsize:1073741824]
[timeout:9000]
[date:"{year}-12-31T23:59:59Z"]
[bbox:{bbox}];
way["highway"~"(motorway|trunk|primary|secondary|tertiary)"];
/*also includes 'motorway_link',  'trunk_link' etc. because they also restrict habitat connectivity
*/
/*old version to export only columns needed, but it overwhelms the code:
foreach -> .setWay {{
  .setWay; > -> .setNodes;
  make way geometry = setNodes.set(" " + lat() + ", " + lon()),
  highway = u(t["highway"]),
  name = u(t["name"]),
  width = u(t["width"]),
  level = u(t["level"]),
  bridge = u(t["bridge"]);
  out;
}};
*/
(._;>;);

The explicit log is attached:
roads_query_log.txt

Possible solution is to change query with non-critical parameters (add extra symbols to comment) and automate changing query each time this exception faced.
