Sudden "Could not connect to host" while accessing bing ads API from PHP SDK

Since 25th of Sept 2022 we see many "SoapFault exception: [HTTP] Could not connect to host" exceptions. We use PHP sdk, upgraded to the latest version as of now.
I logs we see that some requests pass through, while some return that exception.

I see that failed requests were to SearchAccounts, GetUser.

Increasing retry timeouts does not help and error is 100% reproducible, it shows up only for certain requests and not for others.

Any advice what to do here?

    I found the problem, the soap location returned from Bing is... weird: <soap:address location="https://[::]/Api/CustomerManagement/v13/CustomerManagementService.svc" />
    see https://github.com/BingAds/BingAds-PHP-SDK/issues/171

    That explains why only customer related requests failed.
