Hi, I’d like to look into this issue if it’s not already being worked on.
I’ll first try to reproduce it locally and dig into the retry / rate-limit handling.
Let me know if that sounds good.

@Aditya7880900936, thanks for offering, but this is a service-side issue. We're actively investigating.

Thanks for the clarification!
Appreciate the update — I’ll step back for now.
Happy to help test or validate once there’s a fix or if any client-side investigation is needed.

Thanks for reporting the problem. We've addressed the underlying cause, so you should no longer see this issue.
