In google.auth.aio.transport.sessions.AsyncAuthorizedSession.request (packages/google-auth/google/auth/aio/transport/sessions.py:339-347), the retry loop reassigns response = await with_timeout(...) across retry attempts without closing the previous response.
If the response payload hasn't reached EOF before the next retry fires (e.g., with chunked or streaming responses), aiohttp keeps the socket checked out in connector._acquired. The transport protocol's internal EOF callback holds a bound reference to ClientResponse._response_eof, which prevents Python's garbage collector from cleaning up the orphaned response while the connection is waiting for data. Under concurrency, multiple requests retrying against a degraded endpoint can quickly burn through the connector pool (limit=100) and block other outgoing requests across the session.
Proposed Fix
Close any previous response before kicking off the next retry attempt, matching the pattern already used in sessions.py:L501-L518:
response = None
async for _ in retries:
if response is not None and hasattr(response, "close"):
try:
res = response.close()
if inspect.isawaitable(res):
await res
except Exception:
pass
response = await with_timeout(
self._auth_request(
url, method, data, request_headers, actual_timeout, **kwargs
)
)
if response.status_code not in transport.DEFAULT_RETRYABLE_STATUS_CODES:
break
Unit tests should check that when a retryable status code (like a 503) is followed by a 200, close() is awaited on the initial response before the retry runs.
