OverpassUnknownHTTPStatusCode: Unknown/Unhandled status code: 406

I've made a simple script using the example code in the docs, and it crashes with:

overpy.exception.OverpassUnknownHTTPStatusCode: Unknown/Unhandled status code: 406

The same. User-Agent is must have.

Workaround:

from urllib.request import Request

def create(url: str | None = None) -> overpy.Overpass:
    if url is None:
        url = 'https://overpass-api.de/api/interpreter'
    req = Request(url)
    req.add_header('Referer', 'https://overpass-api.eu/')
    req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8')
    req.add_header('Origin', 'https://overpass-turbo.eu')
    req.add_header('User-Agent', 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/148.0.0.0 Safari/537.3')
    return overpy.Overpass(url=req)  # type: ignore  # openurl() accepts Request
