gRPC 3 INVALID_ARGUMENT vs 13 INTERNAL
Both gRPC 3 (INVALID_ARGUMENT) and 13 (INTERNAL) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 3 indicates that the client specified an invalid argument. This indicates arguments that are problematic regardless of the state of the system. Meanwhile, 13 means that an internal error occurred. This means that some invariant expected by the underlying system has been broken.
Descripción

Cuándo lo verás
A request field failed validation — for example, a negative page size, a malformed email, or a required field left empty.
Cómo solucionarlo
Inspect the request payload and fix the invalid field. Check the API documentation for expected formats and constraints.
Descripción
An internal error occurred. This means that some invariant expected by the underlying system has been broken.
Cuándo lo verás
A server-side bug, a corrupted internal state, or an unexpected failure in a dependency. This is the gRPC equivalent of HTTP 500.
Cómo solucionarlo
Check the server error logs and traces for the root cause. This typically indicates a bug that needs to be fixed in the server code.
