When i add multiple keywords in 1 adGroupCriterionService->mutate
operation, i sometimes get an UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR. I tried
it with 10/20/30/40/50 keywords per request, and this error randomly
appears. In the error return message i don't see exactly what is
causing this error, only UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR. Anyone knows
how to solve this?

Hi,

Were these requests made against the sandbox or production
environment? Do you have the request ID from one of these failed
requests?

Is there a recommended number of keywords to create at once via the
AdGroupCriterionService? Or is there a maximum on this?
Do i have a chance that this error will not reproduce if i use the
BulkMutate operation?

Btw, does an unexpected api error cost any api units?
