 ## Common errors 
 
-- Networking failures which means the request never reached Batch or the Batch response didn't reach the client in time.
-- Internal server errors which is a standard 5xx status code HTTP response.
-- Throttling can cause errors such as 429 or 503 status code HTTP responses with the Retry-after header. 
-- 4xx errors which include such errors as AlreadyExists and InvalidOperation. This means that the resource is not in the correct state for the state transition requested by the customer.

 ## When to retry
 
-The Batch APIs will notify you if there is a failure. They can all be retried and include a global retry handler for that purpose. It is best to use this built-in mechanism.

-After a failure, you should wait a bit (several seconds between retries) before retrying. If you retry too frequently or too quickly, you will be throttled. This is managed by the retry handler.
