Getting Read Timed Out Exception for Google Adwords - google-api

Question

We are using Google Adwords APIs (v201710) to get customer information, adGroup and campaign information and to download reports.
We are now frequently facing java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out exception. Our threads are getting hanged because of this.
Any idea why this is happening?
