Hi @sharp tulip. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Thanks for reporting this. That “BrokenPipe … stream closed because of a broken pipe” error is a transport-layer disconnect while Warp’s AI is streaming a response. Multiple users have seen it intermittently across macOS and Linux, often during longer or more complex AI operations. In several cases it correlated with network instability, VPNs/proxies, or a recent bad client release (which was reverted). [Request failed Transport; Repetitive Broken Pipe]
What you can try now:
- Update Warp to the latest stable, then fully quit and relaunch. There were instances where a bad release caused these errors and a revert fixed them. [Request failed Transport]
- Temporarily disable VPN/firewall/proxy and retry. Several reports suggest VPNs or flaky networks increase the chance of this error. [Repetitive Broken Pipe; Closed 7160]
- If a conversation is “stuck,” try starting a new conversation after restart; also try smaller/shorter prompts to see if it’s tied to long outputs. [I'm sorry couldn't complete; Open 7247]
- Share a debugging ID and logs so the team can investigate server/client traces:
- Conversation/debugging ID: in the chat header menu. [Request failed BrokenPipe]
- Logs: ~/Library/Logs/warp.log* on macOS (or the equivalent per the feedback docs). [Open 6736]
If the issue started “today” or suddenly worsened, it may be a transient server-side problem; in past cases, a server-side fix resolved it without user action. [Error after ChatGPT integration]
If you can, please reply with:
- Your Warp version and OS version.
- Whether you’re on a VPN/proxy.
- A conversation ID from a failed run.
- Whether it happens with small prompts vs. long outputs.
This will help the team pinpoint whether it’s a network path issue or a client/server regression. [BrokenPipe -> Stream Closed; AI Agent intermittent]
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:
@sharp tulip Kapa.ai is still learning and improving, please let me know how I did by reacting below.
