This topic was somehow below my radar, but I occasionally get this too. See here <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/adwords-api/zgGyRXYUF4k/eW8ub-asCAAJ> for recent logs and the response headers that AdWordsAPI sent. This error occurred on: Dec 22 Dec 25 (3 times) Dec 31 Jan 1 Jan 12 Feb 1 Feb 6 (2 times) Mar 17 (3 times) Mar 18 Mar 23 Mar 24 Mar 25 Mar 26 Mar 30 Apr 1 Apr 3 Apr 11 (3 times) (@Google: I have requests and response headers for each instance). We retrieve between 1,000 and 20,000 reports daily. Problems occur on different report types, on different accounts - I can't find a pattern on that.
Like Dorian I wonder how to deal with that error, as a 400-error means a serious error by the client.
