500 Internal Server Error · type api_error
When it happens
An unexpected error. We log every one with its request id.
What to do
Retry with the same Idempotency-Key, with backoff. Usually nothing was stored and the retry runs normally.
If a retry returns this same 500 with the header Idempotent-Replayed: true, that’s the stored outcome of a request that may have taken effect: stop retrying that key, and handle it like IDEMPOTENCY_RECORD_LOST. If it keeps happening, contact us with the request_id.
