As was mentioned in the main [AWS move thread](https://staging-discuss.dev.twitch.com/t/psa-chat-servers-are-going-to-migrate-to-aws-ec2-servers/4877).

There are cases of Spontaneous disconnect

```
PHP Warning: socket_read(): unable to read from socket [104]: Connection reset by peer [hidden]
PHP Warning: socket_write(): unable to write to socket [32]: Broken pipe in [hidden]

```

This again occurred at 10:51 BST today.

My bots were receiving Chat into their respective chat logs, and then suddenly stopped.

So I appear to be ping/ponging correctly, but something appears to have Shutdown the Connection (IRC Port 6667), from the Twitch AWS side.

I suppose in theory it could be Twitch dropping a server out of the load balancer and not shunting my connection to a active chat server behind the LB. But thats just a theory.

Try a different IP I had a similar situation just a few moments ago. I changed to [irc.chat.twitch.tv:80](http://irc.chat.twitch.tv:80) and everything is back to normal.

I’m on the IRC end point deliberately at this time.

Also thread this was followed up elsewhere…
