## Question
I am having trouble with the chat feature in Amazon Q, when I am asking questions often I am prompted with "Encountered an unexpected error when processing the request, please try again." followed by an arbitrary Request ID.
I usually have to ask my question around 5-8 times before I can get a successful response. Please let me know if there are fixes I can proceed with.
Thanks!

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by reproducing Amazon Q chat failures in VS Code with the listed macOS, VS Code, AWS Toolkit, and Amazon Q versions, then use the request ID and extension logs to locate the failing path. Done means repeated questions no longer produce the unexpected-error message.
