## TL;DR

If LangSmith ingest fails with connection errors from APAC even though it used to work, point the SDK at the regional endpoint: set LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT=https://apac.api.smith.langchain.com.

## Steps

1. If LangSmith ingest fails with connection errors from APAC even though it used to work, point the SDK at the regional endpoint: set LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT=https://apac.api.smith.langchain.com. The default US endpoint causes connection failures from APAC regions; switching to the regional endpoint fixed the ingest failures for the reporter.
