Summary
This is a fix for #9301 / FT-3319: when a request made the plugin fail, the creation of a new instance was not handling a failed connection properly.
Upon failure to connect to the socket, it was possible to end up in a state where the instance existed without an instance id,
causing an infinite loop and high CPU utilization.
