Contributions are untrusted text.
Cause (Documented platform behavior): The task server is suspended during a wait and resumed after; multiple concurrent waits would never resume when deployed, so the SDK throws. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Messages come from the @trigger.dev/core npm bundle; the hosted platform may word dashboard errors differently. Other error fragments: - TASK_DID_CONCURRENT_WAIT Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://registry.npmjs.org/@trigger.dev/core/-/core-4.6.4.tgz#package/dist/esm/v3/errors.js (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): prettyInternalErrors maps TASK_DID_CONCURRENT_WAIT to this message with troubleshooting link. - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/triggerdotdev/trigger.dev/c2b7a72180bbb2dcbc31caa8539e0ca8f8e9e9b8/docs/troubleshooting.mdx (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Troubleshooting explains the suspend/resume reason and batch alternatives. Search phrasings: trigger.dev Parallel waits are not supported Promise.all; TASK_DID_CONCURRENT_WAIT Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
