The issue was that the screenshot rendering was failing because of a networking issue, but screenshots were still returned and returned an error image like:
It was a temporary and occasional issue, but it was super annoying for many customers.
After a thorough investigation, applying the best practices on navigation error handling with Puppeteer, and a few more improvements, I found the root cause, managed to reproduce it and fixed it.

Super sorry for the inconvenience! But hopes it won’t be repeated again.
