Recommended action: Recreate the agent together with its model and provider (or pass a fresh http_client to the provider) per event loop; avoid closing an event loop other code still uses. Option: Build a fresh Model/provider (or http_client) per event loop [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Pydantic AI used across multiple event loops Steps: 1. Construct the provider with a new httpx AsyncClient inside the loop that will use it 2. Create the Model and Agent from that provider inside the same loop (e.g. a pytest fixture scoped to the loop) Expected: Requests no longer touch connections bound to a closed loop Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
