Random Error Messages

[winegard]

We have been using the Authorize API for over 3 years to handle not only one time purchases but also recurring billing. After a recent update, we are now starting to see random error messages with the following response: "An error occurred during processing. Please try again." This is easily duplicated across multiple Authorize API requests especially when creating a recurring subscription. If we retry the request, it normally succeeds. Is there any insight as to why now the Authorize service is returning processing errors?

Veteran user of the API as well and our experience is the same. It seems like 20-30% failure rate across many different APIs.

Using one kind of call as an example, if we send the same request 10 times, a few seconds apart. Sometimes will get success, other times this error message:

<ARBGetSubscriptionResponse xmlns:xsi=\"
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\" xmlns=\"
AnetApi/xml/v1/schema/AnetApiSchema.xsd\"><messages><resultCode>Error</resultCode><message><code>E0001</code><text>An error occurred during processing. Please try again.</text></message></messages></
ARBGetSubscriptionResponse>

Contacted chat and they told me to open a ticket. Opened a ticket and they told me to check here.

At least they responded to you! I opened a ticket and haven't heard back yet!
