Description

## System details (run `AWS: About` and/or `Amazon Q: About`)

- OS: MacOS
- Visual Studio Code version: 1.100.2
- AWS Toolkit version: 3.63.0

- Amazon Q version: Amazon-Aladdin-V1, Q foundation

## 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.
