broken pipe scrapping metrics on strimzi 0.45.0

[jorgebo10]

Hi! After upgrading to Strimzi 0.45.0 and kafka connect 3.8.1 we are experiencing frequently broken pipe when scrapping the /metric. endpoint. Metrics are there, however after a few broken pipe. Any tip which could be the cause of it?
Thanks
