Not using URLFetchService seems to have worked, I'm not seeing any SocketTimeoutExceptions anymore since I've deployed a version of my app that uses OkHttp to replace the URLFetchService. Of course that might be a coincidence but the errors that have been occurring throughout the day are gone now. I actually implemented the URLFetchService interface for my OkHttp implementation, which I'm happy to share if someone needs it too.
