The stream should either recover after reconnect attempts or preserve enough state to resume the in-flight response cleanly without losing the completion.
Actual behavior
The stream disconnected before completion and returned only the generic retry/help-center message after reconnect attempts.

Errors like this are often due to connectivity or network configuration issues.
It was on my end. DaVinci Resolve got stuck in a loop and flooded the
network. Sorry for any inconvenience.
