Received invalid 'digits' argument when using EIKON API R to pull data

WestWinter

Was using the Eikon API R to run a loop to pull data for various securities. When I returned to my computer and RStudio, I received this error:

Error in print.default("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "") : 
  invalid 'digits' argument

Was unsure what was the problem as it was abrupt. Here is the traceback:

Error in print.default("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "") : 
  invalid 'digits' argument 
6.  print.default("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "") 
5.  print("HTTP Error, code= ", response$status_code, sep = "") 
4.  send_json_request(DataGrid_UDF_endpoint, payload, debug = debug) 
3.  get_data(instruments = aSEDOL, fields = list("TR.RIC")) 
2.  check_valid_sedol(aSEDOL) 
1.  update_all(SEDOLused$SEDOL)

Hi all, I returned to my script the next day and ran it again and it worked. Maybe the servers were under maintenance or something.
