error: "Metadata API request failed: The org cannot be found" - sfdx is making too many DNS requests.

I get error when retrieving metadata from org:

  "name": "MetadataTransfer",
  "message": "Metadata API request failed: The org cannot be found",
  "exitCode": 1.0,

}

I know that this org exist, and i can access it using sfdx commands.

Reason : SFDX is making too many DNS request and DNS server may stop resolving SF addresses.

Solution in command line

export  SFDX_DISABLE_DNS_CHECK=true

or run

SFDX_DISABLE_DNS_CHECK=true sfdx force:mdapi:retrieve .....

There should be option in illuminated cloud to do the same…
