# internal\_error

The `internal_error` is a catch-all for unexpected server-side errors. The platform automatically retries these errors before marking the task as failed.

***

## Details

* **HTTP Status:** `500 Internal Server Error`
* **Retryable:** Yes (automatic)
* **Task State:** ERROR

***

## When does this occur?

This error is returned when:

* An unexpected condition occurred on the server that does not match any specific error category
* An internal service dependency failed or timed out
* An unclassified error occurred during task processing

***

## Example response

```json
{
  "type": "https://docs.warp.dev/reference/api-and-sdk/troubleshooting/errors/internal-error",
  "title": "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. If the issue persists, contact support.",
  "status": 500,
  "instance": "/api/v1/agent/tasks",
  "error": "An unexpected error occurred. Please try again later. If the issue persists, contact support.",
  "retryable": true,

}
```

## How to resolve

No action is typically needed — the platform will automatically retry the task.

If the error persists:

1. Wait a few minutes and try again.
2. Contact [Warp support](https://docs.warp.dev/support-and-community/troubleshooting-and-support/sending-us-feedback) and include the `trace_id` from the error response.
