Hi @Neel1 , I don't see any dedicated KB about tab sleep mode for Chrome. 
However, I can see the following KB that mentions the Chrome Background apps and Memory Saver.

Have you tried adding your URLS to the Keep Sites Active - to prevent any sleep issues within Chrome. - It's worth adding.

Thanks @Wittawat for sharing your input.

I'm unable to open either of the links. Also, the error appears within a few seconds of launching the URL, so it doesn't seem to be a sleep/timeout issue.

Also, the error message should be updated to something more meaningful that clearly indicates the root cause.

i am investigating more on this in parallel.
