New `Service is overloaded` error provides potential wrong code and no useful information

[Miquel Isern Roca]

Hello,

since the start of this year, we are receiving a new error as a result of our Batch Job operations. The first recorded occurrence of this error on our side was on Jan 2, 2023, 8:14:43 AM UTC.

The error result of the BatchJob operations contains the following data:

status {

    code: 3

    message: "Request \'/DataAccessService.RequestTransactDat\' from role \'adwordsapi-worker\' throttled: Service is overloaded (too-many-retries-in-flight) go/tr-o."

}

I'm creating this post to ask if this error is correct and created as intended.

The error code provided `3` refers to an INVALID_ARGUMENT error according to googleapis grpc code. But the message indicates a problem with the service being overloaded with requests at the time which makes me think that a retry at a later time would be enough and that there's nothing incorrect with the request in the Batch Job operations.

This is causing us problems because an error for an invalid argument is supposed to provide details about the argument and the field's location and this error provides no details at all.

Could you provide me with some insight into this error?

Thanks.
