Seeing this error? High load on NIC servers or a temporary glitch typically triggers a server error. Below are the common causes and the fixes that resolve it for most users.
Why this happens

- Your session token expired mid-action.
- A large bulk JSON upload timed out.
How to fix it

Server errors are often temporary. Wait a few minutes and retry the same action.
2
Re-login
