What causes this error?

Meta’s servers encountered an unexpected internal error that doesn’t map to a specific known error code. This is Meta’s generic catch-all when something breaks on their backend.

How to fix it

  1. Retry after a short delay: This is almost always transient. Wait 30-60 seconds and try the exact same request again.
  2. Check Meta Platform Status: Visit https://metastatus.com to see if there’s an ongoing platform incident affecting the API.
  3. Simplify your request: If retries fail, try breaking complex batch requests into smaller individual calls to isolate which specific operation is triggering the error.
