Background: We have a github cicd on a self-runner host from AWS. In this workflow we build our daily software and upload to Box using below command. This has been working for the past 6 month.
Issue: Last couple of months, I am getting frequent errors that “item already exists”. (1) The problem is that files get uploaded correctly and when I check the box, I do see all the files. However, not sure why I am getting these errors. (2) It is not possible to have “same name” since each build has a unique github commit ID attached to our release target name. i.e, There are 3 different unique IDs concatenated together. Here is an example “0514.2_A_0.0.48_5b57cb4_0308”. Hence it is impossible to have same name.
What is going on here? I need support from Box Team. This is not something we can afford to constantly have errors for no apparent reason.

Here is the error - I can’t post the entire error but I can send the file to Box Support Team. I’ve masked out some hash keys with “xxx”
