Getting NO_STATUS_CODE_FROM_LAMBDA error when making ssr get calls on now

Question

I'm running a nuxt universal app on now.sh which makes an ssr get call to a https://getcockpit.com/ server somewhere else. When I open the app I get a 502 error with code "NO_STATUS_CODE_FROM_LAMBDA".

Running it locally or deploying it as a spa instead of universal app works just fine because then the calls aren't made from lambda but from my machine I guess. My webserver running the getcockpit-cms does not receive any call from now according to it's logs so the problem doesn't seem to be on that side.

The now.sh logs really don't say much to me. The only thing I found is "Process excited before completing request" but that doesn't help me either.

I would expect now.sh or rather lambda to make the call and ssr my app.
