Increased occurrence of BatchJobProcessingError.UNKNOWN errors since February 12, 2020

[Christian]

Hi,

We noticed an increased occurrence rate of BatchJobProcessingError.UNKNOWN errors on multiple Google Ads accounts.

Here is a recent example job:

(BatchJob){

   id = 2697614416

   status = "CANCELED"

   progressStats = 

      (ProgressStats){

 

        numOperationsExecuted = 187

         numOperationsSucceeded = 187

         estimatedPercentExecuted = 100

         numResultsWritten = 187

      }

   processingErrors[] = 

      (BatchJobProcessingError){

    

     fieldPath = None

         trigger = None

         errorString = "BatchJobProcessingError.UNKNOWN"

         ApiError.Type = "BatchJobProcessingError"

         reason = "UNKNOWN"

      },

 }

In all cases we've seen so far estimatedPercentExecuted is at 100. It also only appears to affect campaign bid modifier change operations.

We do these operations once per day and for most affected accounts they repeat daily.

This looks like an issue in the AdWords API. Could you please check with your team?

Best,

Christian

Hello Christian,

Thank you for reaching the support. Could you please confirm if my understanding is correct and the error is observed only while performing the batch job operations to modify the campaign bids? Also, could you please share the sample client customer ids against which you are observing these errors? If possible, could you please share the request id or complete request and response logs for further investigation on our end?

P.S. Please use Reply privately to author options while sharing the details.
