Errors

internal_error

Last updated: October 2026

Retry an unchanged request with backoff. The server failed while processing a request that the caller cannot repair.

What happened

A 500 internal_error does not identify invalid caller input. Rewriting a valid payload in response to this code can introduce a second, unrelated failure.

Do this next

Retry the same request with bounded exponential backoff. If repeated attempts fail, preserve the response and request identifiers and report the incident.

Corrected request
