Pinecone uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the 2xx range indicate success, codes in the 4xx range indicate an error that failed given the information provided, and codes in the 5xx range indicate an error with Pinecone’s servers.For guidance on handling errors in production, see Error handling.
The API gateway did not receive a timely response from the backend server. This can occur due to slow requests or backend processing delays. Implement retry logic with exponential backoff to handle transient errors.
