This happens when your server gives a 500 error.
By the way, today your system has been buggy for about 15 minutes, while nothing is said about this in your monitoring system!

I can confirm this issue again.

The block is not in try catch and causes a server crash. Happening a lot of times now and sometimes the payment also goes through but it returns the above response which is very strange.

Is there anyone looking into it? I can submit a pull request to at least add better error handling to avoid crashes.

Is this issue being looked at? I have just gotten the same issue and it seems to be still existing in latest version of the SDK.
