Hi Joao, An *UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR* is, as you suspected, often due to a timeout occurring while we process your request.
As a general rule, you should implement error handling and retry logic as specified in our best practices guide <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/bestpractices#error_handling>, since timeouts of this sort are bound to happen eventually on a small percentage of requests. Usually retrying such a request after waiting a few seconds will result in a successful request.
