The connection error retry logic has a potential issue - it currently retries exactly once after a ConnectionError without handling failures in the retry attempt. If the retry also fails with a ConnectionError, that exception will propagate unhandled up the call stack, potentially causing application crashes.

Consider improving this by either:

1. Wrapping the retry in its own try-except block
2. Letting the exception propagate to the main error handling logic

Example of a more robust approach:

try:
    return self._session.post(url=self._endpoint, data=data, timeout=timeout)
except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
    try:
        # One retry attempt
        return self._session.post(url=self._endpoint, data=data, timeout=timeout)
    except Exception as e:
        # Let the caller handle this error appropriately
        raise

Suggested change

	except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
	# Retry once on connection error
	return self._session.post(
	url=self._endpoint, # type: ignore[arg-type]
	data=data,
	timeout=timeout,
	)
	except requests.exceptions.ConnectionError:
	# Retry once on connection error
	try:
	return self._session.post(
	url=self._endpoint, # type: ignore[arg-type]
	data=data,
	timeout=timeout,
	)
	except Exception as e:
	# Let the caller handle this error appropriately
	raise
