google.api_core.exceptions.RetryError: Timeout of 60.0s exceeded, last exception: 503 DNS resolution failed for firestore.googleapis.com: C-ares status is not ARES_SUCCESS qtype=A name=firestore.googleapis.com is_balancer=0: DNS query cancelled

Start with the reproduction in museum.py at line 24, using Python 3.12.2, Firebase SDK 6.1.0, and the shown Firestore client call. Check whether the failure can be reproduced and whether it is caused by the SDK or DNS resolution for firestore.googleapis.com. Done requires identifying a reproducible SDK issue and a clear expected result, but the report does not define a code change.

[REQUIRED] Step 2: Describe your environment

• Operating System version: Mac OS
• Firebase SDK version: 6.1.0
• Firebase Product: firestore
• Python version: 3.12.2
• Pip version: 24.0 from /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.12/lib/python3.12/site-packages/pip (python 3.12)

[REQUIRED] Step 3: Describe the problem

cred = credentials.Certificate("firebase-privateKey.json")
firebase_admin.initialize_app(cred) 
db = firestore.client()


collections = list(db.collections())
if collections:
    print("Collections found:", [col.id for col in collections])
else:
    print("No collections found or access denied.")

The code fails with error below.

I am running the script once a month, and It was working fine until 2025/1/5.
Suddenly stopped working yesterday (2025/2/1).

I can confirm the reject exists at: https://console.firebase.google.com/u/0/project/art-sanpo/overview?hl=ja
And the Blaze plan is turned on, access rule is allow read: if true; for all of the collections.
