I am using getSymbols from quantmod package in R quite a long now but the last several days when i try to download some data i get the same error:
library(quantmod)
> getSymbols("TSLA", from = "2011-01-01", to = "2022-01-31",auto.assign = TRUE)
Warning: TSLA download failed; trying again.
Error in getSymbols.yahoo(Symbols = "TSLA", env = <environment>, verbose = FALSE, :
Unable to import “TSLA”.
TSLA download failed after two attempts. Error message:
Failed to connect to query2.finance.yahoo.com port 443: Timed out

Why is that happening ? I am not under firewall protection or proxy limitation.
If you are not able to fix quantmod, theres also tidyquant
library(tidyquant)
tq_get("TSLA",
from = "2011-01-01",
to = "2022-01-31")
