  errors:
   [ { domain: 'global',

I'll run it multiple times in a row and sometimes it'll return 200 and sometimes it'll return this 500 error. I'm not hitting my API usage limits. Also it would return a 4xx if I was right?

Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

@e1um, are you running the same requests with different authentication or for different users? If so, it's possible you're running into this bug: #1594.

[e1um]

Same exact authentication for 1 user. I am running it in mocha tests. Not sure if that has something to do with it?

Hi, @e1um You can try the following way. Let me know if it works for you.

const gmail = await google.gmail({ version: 'v1', auth: auth });
        await gmail.users.watch({ userId: 'me',
          requestBody: {
            topicName: `projects/test/topics/test`,
          },
          labelIds: [
            'CATEGORY_UPDATES',
            'DRAFT',
            'CATEGORY_PROMOTIONS',
            'CATEGORY_SOCIAL',
            'CATEGORY_FORUMS',
            'TRASH',
            'CHAT',
            'SPAM',
           ],
          labelFilterAction: 'exclude'
       })
        .then(function(res) {
            console.log(res.data);
        }).catch( function(err) {
            console.log(err);
        })
  };
