Issues with Still image Cameras

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hi, I’ve been having an issue since around 2021.8 with still image cameras that load weather radars from various websites. It used to be once in a while, I would need to restart HA because my cameras would be showing broken images in the dash. Restarting HA fixes the issue. However, lately its gotten much worse, dying nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day.

I’ve tracked it to this error in the log:

Its gotten really frustrating and Ive tried everything, originally thinking it was some kind of network or dns issue, but it doesnt appear it is.
