AI Summary
Summary
The author’s live trading bot using Interactive Brokers’ Client Portal Gateway is experiencing repeated “Unauthorized” disconnections, while it worked fine on a paper account.
The log shows an attempted buy of SMCI (Super Micro Computer) was rejected due to overextension, but the main thesis is frustration with IBKR API reliability, not an investment view on any ticker.
Quality assessment: This is noise — a technical support complaint, not researched due diligence or a trading thesis.

Yesterday my bot went live which is using IBKR client portal gateway and today it is facing a lot of issues. Everything used to work fine on Paper account but now on Live I am facing disconnections and unauthorized issues. Today it keeps giving me unauthorized issue. The bot would work for like 5 or 10 minutes and then I see this in logs.

Never had this issue ever in Paper account. Restarted countless times but same problem. Any body else facing issue with IBKR API especially client portal gateway?
