I'm fed up of getting this sort of errors:

I'm sorry, I couldn't complete that request.
Request failed with error: Transport(reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: hyper::Error(Body, Error { kind: Io(Custom { kind: BrokenPipe, error: "stream closed because of a broken pipe" }) }) })

What's wrong with the reliability of the service??!!!
This is extremely annoying, and makes me loose a lot of time.

Hi @opal shoal. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

I'm sorry you're experiencing these persistent "broken pipe" and transport errors in Warp's AI Agent Mode. This is a known and ongoing issue affecting many users across different platforms (Linux, macOS, Windows). The error message you shared:

I'm sorry, I couldn't complete that request.
Request failed with error: Transport(reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: hyper::Error(Body, Error { kind: Io(Custom { kind: BrokenPipe, error: "stream closed because of a broken pipe" }) }) })

has been reported frequently. Users describe it as highly disruptive, especially during longer or more complex AI tasks, and it often requires manual intervention or restarting the task, which can be very frustrating and time-consuming. The problem appears to be intermittent but common enough to significantly impact productivity for many users. It is not limited to a specific OS or version, and happens with various types of requests, including code generation, Git workflows, and general AI assistance. Some users have also noted that the issue can be triggered by longer context or more demanding prompts, which may cause the connection to the AI backend to drop or reset unexpectedly.

#

The Warp team is aware of the problem and is actively investigating it. There are several open and tracked issues about this, and users are encouraged to provide logs to help with diagnosis. However, as of now, there is no confirmed permanent fix or reliable workaround available. Some users have reported that the issue sometimes resolves itself after a while, or that switching AI agents (e.g., from a specific provider to "Auto") may temporarily help, but these are not guaranteed solutions. The errors are believed to be related to network or server-side resource management issues, possibly involving context length or connection stability between the client and Warp's AI service infrastructure. The team has released server-side updates in the past to address similar issues, but the problem persists for many users, especially with recent versions of WarpAI Agent Mode intermittent "broken pipe" transport errors, High frequency network/internal errors, Consistent Request failed with error message, I'm sorry, I couldn't complete that request..

I understand how disruptive this is, and unfortunately, based on the current knowledge sources, there is no definitive fix you can apply yourself. The best course of action is to follow the related GitHub issues for updates, provide logs if possible, and watch for new releases or announcements from the Warp team. If you haven't already, you may want to add your feedback to the relevant GitHub issues to help the team gauge the impact and prioritize a solution.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

@marble wedge Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.

If the task is "too complex", please make the AI split it into several more maneageable steps (plan and split) before processing the task as a whole. The current situation is frankly unacceptable. You must find a fix, and maintain high standards for a commercial product that should be reliable.
