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" }) }) })

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]

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

Yes—issue #6736 is being treated as the canonical tracker for the intermittent “BrokenPipe … stream closed because of a broken pipe” transport errors in Warp’s AI/Agent Mode. Multiple related reports link back to it, and discussion there covers symptoms across OSes, suspected network/VPN factors, and ongoing debugging. [AI Agent intermittent; BrokenPipe -> Stream]
