Description

Steps to reproduce

  1. Create a chat with 500+ users and all users present (like the NC conf!)
  2. Add a few partitipants
  3. ??? somehow the server is under load ???
  4. Wait
Expected behaviour

Chat channel stays, maybe a message appears or a spinner.
Return a 503 from the API and catch it on the side.

Actual behaviour

Chat says "conversation does not exist".
Perhaps a 404 was returned by an API.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure described with a large chat and inspect the API response when the conversation is reported missing. Trace the Talk app's handling of that response and verify the chat remains open with an error message or spinner instead of showing that the conversation does not exist.
