Root Cause

Fetch or other async operation was cancelled via AbortController.

generic

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Handle AbortError specifically: catch(e) { if (e.name === 'AbortError') return; throw e; } 
    Only ignore intentional abort errors; re-throw unexpected ones

    Sources: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortController

  2. 88% success Check signal.aborted before processing results 
    if (!signal.aborted) { processResult(data) } — guard against race conditions

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Removing the AbortController to prevent the error 70% fail

    Loses the ability to cancel long-running requests; potential memory leaks

  2. Catching and ignoring all AbortError 50% fail

    May hide other abort-related bugs
