Deepgram Common Errors

Examples

For a failed transcription request, record its opaque correlation ID, environment, model, status class, and redacted timing. Check media format, credentials, timeout, and rate-limit state with a non-sensitive fixture; if the condition remains, escalate with the minimal redacted bundle rather than attaching customer audio or transcript text.
