It is much simpler than that. Just intercept the error inside a retry loop
and have the dataset silently wait until there is eventually a retry that
does not throw the error.

If it is practicable, you might also consider restricting the size of the
dataset to be fetched by parameterising and providing selectors or input
fields for your users. Refreshing a SELECT * on a big set frequently is
going to cause this kind of error - or delays, if you solve this by
catching the error in a retry loop.
