Hi Luciano,

Thank you for providing detailed information on your concern. Upon replicating the issue on my end, I could also encounter the same error on my end. This said, I will coordinate this issue with the team for thorough investigation and will provide you an update as soon as available.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Luciano,

I suspect this started happening because of the extremely large amount of data returned from your report request. If I issue a request with a predicate on CampaignId IN [..., ...] for several campaigns, the response comes back without error.

Could you try breaking up your single request into multiple requests using a similar predicate?

Thanks,

Josh, AdWords API Team
