We're using the stripe node client 8.71.0 on an AWS Lambda running node 12.x. A stripe customers.list call is called first thing when the lambda executes. 33% of the time - we get this error on that call. It consistently happens so does not seem to be transient.

I did read #650, and setting maxNetworkRetries in stripe to 2 seems to resolve the issue. However it seems that just masks the issue.

Is this a stripe issue or AWS Lambda issue? Probably lambda, I submitted a request with AWS. But putting this here in case others run into it.
