Unexpected HTTP Error during the API request

Kept getting this damn An Unexpected HTTP Error occurred during the API request during the past week all of a sudden – usually when I want to write a new post or upgrade on a plugin, or pretty much any link I choose in the backend. 

Annoying but usually refreshing the page and just staying on that tab would get it back up and running again – but I like to multi-task, so when one tab is loading one thing, I’m usually in another tab doing something else, so tonight I decided to see if there was a simple resolution, and thanks to this post on the WordPress.org forums, I was able to fix it, although it’s more of a bandaid fix, since I’m not sure why it started all of a sudden and didn’t used to do it – probably some beautiful plugin that I can’t live without lol..
