random soft wdt reset while request

Question

i am making post requests with esp8266 on nodeMCU. i have a messy code so i dont want to annoy you with showing it here. the problem is i get soft wdt reset time to time while making request. for example i change piece of code(removing or adding some serial.println lines) and i see i get soft wdt reset right there in http.post.

i tried my best to avoid Strings. I only used a few times, without in the loop. I am only using WiFiClientSecureBearSSL with FirebaseESP8266.

do you have any idea what cause this problem?

Answer 1

Show examples of the error - and install ESPexeption decoder to analyse the stack trace this will at least show why the wdt was caused
So the only thing as of now I can recommend
There is an issue with bearssl:

It's a WDT error caused by an extended SSL negotiation.

• Change the core frequency to 160MHz (if not already done) and try again.
• Use instead of LWIP1.4 (memory hog) low-mem LWIP2.0 with your program.
• Since SSL negotiation can take 5 seconds even at 160MHz for some websites be sure by adding a yield() not to trigger a wdt reset

So without code/ trace and error messages its hard to guess
