Gym Battle Error

Has anyone ever been battling a gym and then get kicked out and not able to finish taking it over?

This has happened to me a couple times before, always on the same gym, but today it was a new one and no matter what I did, close out the game, phone reboot, wait several minutes, I couldn't finish battling it without some kind of error.

It would keep saying "The gym battle has already been completed" with an error code and start causing my game to lag.

I left and could spin stops, catch Pokemon, and send gifts without any problems, but whenever I went back to this gym I kept getting an error.

Yes I got this error and message alot today. It's infuriating and probably related to the event that's going on

Error 29 is famously awful

Did you do a raid in the same gym earlier? Seems likes an old error that was fixed has come back.

It also happens when you engage in a gym battle in a car or walking briskly away from a gym. Once you get far enough out of battling range the gps kicks you out of the engagement. After that it freezes you from reengaging, even if you double back to an acceptable proximity

It can also happen standing stock still without drift- especially if you run.

True, while we don’t exactly have a cadre of scientists active on here, error 29 is not always completely random. If you are on a bus or at a stoplight and you try to start a gym battle...error 29.

When someone else is battling the gym and you aren’t synced with their progress, a greater likelihood one of the battlers gets error 29. The good part is if that person dethrones and it is your color, most times you can put a Pokémon in, too
