Server code: 500; Server is possibly experiencing traffic, trying again...

When I try to upload a GWAS summary data set I alway get this server code error:
Server code: 500; Server is possibly experiencing traffic, trying again...

I've been getting this message for the past 4 weeks. The server doesn't seem to be have been experiencing much traffic lately so the message doesn't seem to make sense.

I can't get past this message too:

@explodecomputer I haven't been able to get past this error at the x$api_metadata_upload() step. What does this error actually mean? Is possible to debug it somehow?

Hi, I'm still trying to solve this issue: I've tested the upload process on (1) Mac with VPN (2) Mac on eduroam (3) university windows PC, but the error is the same. At the same time, another person tested the process using exactly the same code and it worked for them (so it is likely not a real issue with the server)

I think something might be wrong with my google auth credentials. I've tried deleting the ieugwasr_oauth folder and generating the access token again, but that didn't help.

I noticed that when I run x <- Dataset$new(filename=filename) it does not generate a igd_id as I suppose it should (it is NULL in x$), so this could perhaps be linked to the problem.
I tried setting the id manually (and also using the randomly generated testing id as in the example), but then I get another error:

Failed to uploaded metadata

{"message": "Could not add study: Identifier has already been taken"}

which does not make sense when using a random testing id. So perhaps this is still a part of the same bigger problem why I can't access/connect to the server.

I'm not sure what else to try! I just really want to upload some data 😀

I've also been having the same problem lately. I get the same error when I try to release a GWAS dataset after upload. It was working for me a few weeks ago.
