#2273 `POST /build/create/custom [504]` raises "Consider using pagination for large queries." that is misleading

Closed: MIGRATED 2 years ago by nikromen. Opened 2 years ago by ttomecek.

POST https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/api_3/build/create/custom [504]
{
reason: Gateway Timeout

returns

This is a transient network error, that's okay, the client can retry. The resulting error message should be more accurate as this has nothing to do with a large query (is a simple json) nor pagination.
