I'm working on an application that uses BitBucket's Rest API and I'm trying to make multiple commits concurrently. I'm following the documentation guidelines: https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/bitbucket/rest/api-group-source/#api-repositories-workspace-repo-slug-src-post The problem is that when I try to send two or more commit requests at the same time, concurrently, I get a generic error saying that something went wrong. Error: * {"type":"error","error":{"message":"Something went wrong","id":"28570ed270ff4cffb2a887e9eb00bd56"}} Interestingly, when I do everything sequentially, I don't get any errors and everything goes perfectly. This ends up showing that there is some limitation of active connections or something like that, because when I try to make two or more requests at the same time, I get an error. Has anyone dealt with this issue and could help me? Thanks.

Hi @quasemago,

Welcome to the community.

Based on the error ID, it seems the API request is trying to update the branch's HEAD, which was already updated with the subsequent API request.
This is currently the expected behaviour where concurrent API requests to push or upload files using the /src REST API may not work.
It is also part of our best practices to avoid using concurrent API requests and do sequential requests instead to avoid API rate limits. - Bitbucket Cloud Rate Limit Troubleshooting

Hi @Mark C

Thank you for the clarification.

However, I feel that sequential requests are not ideal for my use case.

For example, in one situation, I need to create a repository via the API and commit a project of ~80 MB with 7500 files (I organized this into batches, about 100 batches, so 100 commits). Processing all of this sequentially takes too long, so concurrent requests would be ideal for faster processing.

That said, I understand your clarification. Could you suggest a different approach?

Hi @quasemago

Depending on how the script is written, you may try to put a sleep in between requests and see if that helps. However, please note that this may not be a long-term solution because you may still encounter the race condition of updating the same branch's HEAD commit.

If it doesn't work, unfortunately, you may need to work around it to a more sophisticated way of avoiding the race condition.
