Hi, we got the same error. From my team’s investigation, we found out that this issue occur when you send media files with file size exceeding limit determined by WhatsApp (16 MB for media, 100 MB for document). Additionally, if the media is a video, the error will also happen regardless of the file size. For video, we temporarily solve this issue by sending video as document using { sendMediaAsDocument: true }
