Root Cause

The response body was not fully read or released before the session is closed, causing a leak.

generic

中文

在会话关闭前未完全读取或释放响应体，导致资源泄漏。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Always read the response body using async with 
    async with session.get(url) as resp:
    data = await resp.text()
  2. 90% success Explicitly consume the response with resp.read() 
    resp = await session.get(url)
await resp.read()  # or resp.release() after reading

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Calling resp.release() but not reading the body 50% fail

    release() does not consume the body; it only releases the connection. The response remains unconsumed.

  2. Using resp.text() with a timeout that is too short 40% fail

    If the timeout expires, the body may be partially read, leaving the response unconsumed.
