I am having trouble getting some data from Workday, specifically from financial management & Get_Journals operation using this API (though I don't think problem is specific to this operation)

When I query Workday using the above mentioned Get_Journals operation, I am getting 406 HTTP response with Server.governedError as a fault code and no fault string.

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="/">
   <SOAP-ENV:Body>
      <SOAP-ENV:Fault xmlns:wd="urn:com.workday/bsvc">
         <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Server.governedError</faultcode>
         <faultstring></faultstring>
      </SOAP-ENV:Fault>
   </SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

This happens only for a specific combination of dates and company codes (Organization_Reference_ID). Moreover, this happens only for a specific response page. This has been observed across multiple clients.

example: I request data for company ABC, date 2024-01-01 and I specify count to be 1 (one object per page), there will be 10 pages. I can send 10 requests asking for each page individually. 9 of these requests return data as expected but one of them fails with the above mentioned error (let's say page 1 and 3-10 return data and page 2 returns error).

According to some online resources, this may be caused by the size of the response being too big. I can't confirm this claim since I don't have other access to the data but I have noticed that when I request data for some other company codes, distribution of the data across response pages can be highly uneven. ex: each individual page is up to 2MB except for a single page that is more than 1GB.

General suggestion is to filter the data based on the accounting date (Accounting_From_Date & Accounting_to_Date), and based on the Organization_Reference_ID, which I am already doing here - single day & single company code.

Here is the actual request.

headers = {"Accept": "*/*"}
host = "/..."
request_bytes = request_text.encode("utf-8")
response = requests.post(
    host,
    data=request_bytes,
    headers=headers
)

Is there anything I can try to get either the data or at least some reasonable error message indicating what the actual problem is?
