":"HTTPError" - 503 Service Unavailable

[FM100X]

Hi there,
I have a bot (programmed in Python, run from Spyder IDE) which works well in terms of logic, but after 20, sometimes 100s of iterations, the Spyder IDE will return an error comment like this one:

HTTPServiceUnavailable: 503 Service Unavailable: {"error":{"message":"The system is currently overloaded. Please try again later.","name":"HTTPError"}}

My program stops to work and I have to restart it (if I am lucky to see the error quickly), which is especially bad when it happens overnight.

Is there any code I can add to automatically restart the program when there is an issue? I ve programmed the bot myself but not very experienced with error handling on BitMex.

I provide below the full traceback:
