The check API always returns Internal_error
https://api.dropboxapi.com/2/files/copy_batch/check always returns `Internal_error` for me. The documentation says `This should happen very rarely`. Is it something on my end?
- Thanks! I see you're running a filesUploadSessionFinishBatch job, but are trying to check it using filesCopyBatchCheck. For filesUploadSessionFinishBatch jobs, you should use filesUploadSessionFinishBatchCheck to check it:

Dropbox StaffTo clarify, are you seeing this consistently for a particular job ID, or for multiple different job IDs?
Once you get `internal_error` for a particular job ID, you should stop checking the job status, as it won't change for that job ID. The `internal_error` failure should be considered permanent, so you need to try to re-run the copy_batch operation itself.
If you're getting this consistently across multiple jobs, please share the code you're using, as well as a few sample job IDs, so we can look into it for you.

I'm using Javascript SDK.
dbx.filesUploadSessionStart({ close: close, contents: toUpload }).then((response) => {
this.entries.push({
cursor: {
session_id: response.session_id,
offset: 0
},
"commit": {
'path': this.path + '/' + toUpload.name,
'mode': 'add',
'mute': false
}
})
resolve(response);
});I run it twice, for exmple. First time close is `false`, the second one is `true`.
And I call `/upload_session/finish_batch`:
dbx.filesUploadSessionFinishBatch({ 'entries': this.entries}).then((response) => {
...
});And I call `check` with `async_job_id`:
dbx.filesCopyBatchCheck({ 'async_job_id': async_job_id })Frist time it returns `in progress`, second time it returns `Internal_error`

Thank you
