Getting 401 Client Error in Cloudant after a while - kubernetes

I am developing a service in IBM Cloud, and I'm using Cloudant Service.
I'm using the IBM Cloudant Client Library for python to access my database. After pushing my service to a kubernetes cluster, my service is able to be used. It's possible to call the service with no issues for a while. But after one day or something like that, when I call my service, I get 401 Client Error from my cloudant database and I don't know why. The problem is solved if I delete and create the pods/service again in kubernetes.
Could someone help me?
Thanks.
Error:
401 Client Error: Unauthorized unauthorized one of _writer, _creator is required for this request for url: "myurl"
I'm calling my service in this way:
cloudant_client = Cloudant("540...-bluemix",
"4276dd...",
url="https://540...-bluemix.cloudant.com")

In case anyone is facing this..it may also be due to the verison of cloudant installed. The IBM tutorials use an outdated version of cloudant. The latest version allows IAM authentication
pip install cloudant
Also make sure u add .iam
cloudant_client = Cloudant.iam(<credentials>)

Cannot delete the mogolab service or the app with the message 401 Unauthorized

I tried to delete an old app bound with a mongolab service which is out of service. I can neither delete the app nor the mongolab service because the endpoint of the mongolab doesn't exist anymore. Do IBM Cloud or Bluemix people have a solution to this?
An error (10001) occurred while deleting the service.
Description:
Service instance MongoLab-NF: Service broker error: {"description"=>"TRANSPORT_ERROR - Received error with message \"401 Unauthorized\" while calling integration endpoint https://api.mongolab.com/api/appdirect/1/partners/IbmCloud/events?eventUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fbluemix.marketplace.ibmcloud.com%2Fapi%2Fintegration%2Fv1%2Fevents%2F4a1b66dd-531d-43e6-966d-0939fade9fa5 (1272 / MongoLab). Received response:\n"}
Visit IBM Cloud Support and open a support ticket.
We users can't do much about it. Even, it won't allow deletion of app/service.
Once, the same is removed, bind new mLab service to your app.

How to troubleshoot issues related to API Connect in Bluemix

I'm leveraging API Connect service on Bluemix and keep facing following issue multiple times so wanted to know, where to go and troubleshoot these sort of issues quickly on Bluemix ? Please let me know if you need any additional details.
Could not process the API request. See the server log for more information, or contact your administrator.
Error ID: 5851d7e30cf27aa48695c426
In addition to this, since we don't have access to runtime component (DataPower) so how to troubleshoot runtime issues ?
Have you tried the Bluemix docs? The API Connect docs include a troubleshooting section. There is also documentation on the DataPower Connector.

Can't delete Cloudant service - Error 400

I am taking the DWC001 Bluemix Intro course exercise 3b. After creating a node.js app and binding a new Cloudant database, then deleted my app from dashboard, checked delete for Cloudant, my Cloudant service remains and I cannot delete it.
This error from Dashboard & cmdline:
Service instance RLCCloudant: Service broker error:
{"description"=>"Error 400 received from broker url
https://cloudantbroker.ng.bluemix.net/v2/service_instances/40791045-620f-
4fda-b9d4-eabe50c4783c?plan_id=cloudant-shared&service_id=cloudant"}
As you can see in the Bluemix Status Page we are currently experiencing some issues provisioning and managing Cloudant service instances in Bluemix. Bluemix users attempting to provision/unprovision/bind/unbind Cloudant service instances may see errors during these operations. The operations team has restored the service to allow provisioning, binding and unbinding. Issues may still be experienced when unprovisioning a service (as in your case).
Please visit that status page to see when the issues are resolved.
The service has been restored by Cloudant team as announced at https://developer.ibm.com/bluemix/support/#status.
Now the deletion action is working as normal.
"Service Broker Error" usually means that something went wrong communicating with the service side. Please send a request to delete the service to Bluemix Support.

API Management service in Bluemix can't be bound to CF application

I'm building a CloudFoundry application in Bluemix using the API Management service. For this I'm following this tutorial http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/cloud/library/cl-bluemix-api-mgmt-app/index.html.
I can successfully create an API Plan for a custom REST API application (running on a Liberty server on Bluemix as well) and it is published.
I can also create a service in my Bluemix dashboard using the new Custom API, which I take as the API plan was successfully deployed on Bluemix.
Whenever I try to bind this new service I get the following message:
BXNUI2055E: Unable to connect to Cloud Foundry because of the
following exception: "Read timed out." If the problem persists, see
the Troubleshooting topics in the IBM Bluemix Documentation to check
service status, review troubleshooting information, or for information
about getting help.
From time to time I also get this message
The service broker returned an invalid response for the request to
https://apimasv1-stage.stage1.mybluemix.net/d118dceb-edbf-4a7f-9bab-d44371b0c9f9/privateservices/v2/service_instances/1a60830c-0796-4105-afb4-e3477424acf9/service_bindings/ebb853dc-ec88-4987-b8f2-e9acd38d1741.
Status Code: 502 Bad Gateway, Body: 502 Bad Gateway: Registered
endpoint failed to handle the request.
Also, I can open the API portal and see the services listed in there. However, whenever I try to test the service, I get the following error
A security error has occurred. If using a self-signed certificate on
your gateway, you will need to accept it in your browser, which you
can do by clicking the following link.
https://api.wawona.apim.ibmcloud.com/victorshmx1ibmcom-dev/sb/LibraryREST/rs/authors/1
Also, below in the response I get this message:
NetworkError: Failed to execute 'send' on 'XMLHttpRequest': Failed to
load
'https://api.wawona.apim.ibmcloud.com/victorshmx1ibmcom-dev/sb/LibraryREST/rs/authors/1'.
I must clarify this service (the liberty app) doesn't have any security constraint to access the REST service nor I added some kind of security in the API Management portal.
Another thing to clarify is that I can bind other services, but not this one.
Does anyone know how I can fix those problems? Is there a known issue with IBM API Management service?
this seems to be an error with the service API Management instance you are trying to bind to.
