Requests + IO generates RuntimeError: Sending request failed

I'm having problems using requests while also pushing data to adafruit io.

The code below works when it is run as is. However, if I try to upload sensor data by uncommenting the lines:

    # try:
    #     funhouse.push_to_io(FEED_2_5, aqdata["pm25 env"])
    #     funhouse.push_to_io(TEMP_FEED, funhouse.peripherals.temperature - TEMPERATURE_OFFSET)
    #     funhouse.push_to_io(HUM_FEED, funhouse.peripherals.relative_humidity)
    #     print("data pushed")
    # except:
    #     print("error uploading data, moving on")
    # #print io counter
    # print("data point number " + str(io_counter))
    # io_counter += 1

I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "code.py", line 89, in File "adafruit_requests.py", line 728, in get File "adafruit_requests.py", line 668, in request File "adafruit_requests.py", line 515, in _get_socket RuntimeError: Sending request failed

I'm running all of this on a funhouse attached to a PMSA003I Air Quality Breakout (https://www.adafruit.com/product/4632) with the 20230718 library bundle. The target URL returns a 129 byte payload. Does this look like a known problem? Thanks!
