ERR_PRECONNECT_MAX_SOCKET_LIMIT

We've hit the max socket limit for the socket pool while preconnecting. We don't bother trying to preconnect more sockets.

Chromium's description

We've hit the max socket limit for the socket pool while preconnecting. We don't bother trying to preconnect more sockets.

Chrome shows it as net::ERR_PRECONNECT_MAX_SOCKET_LIMIT, error -133. puppeteer and Playwright report the same name when a page fails to load in Chromium.

ERR_PRECONNECT_MAX_SOCKET_LIMIT in the screenshot API

When the page itself fails to load with ERR_PRECONNECT_MAX_SOCKET_LIMIT, the API answers 502 with the message The target website could not be loaded (ERR_PRECONNECT_MAX_SOCKET_LIMIT). (target_unreachable). Not billed.

Only the page's own load can fail a render. An image, script or frame of the page that fails with a network error does not: the page is captured as the browser shows it without that resource.
