## TL;DR

Choose either an SDK Session or the server-side conversation id for each conversation, never both, or the run fails. If you migrate from conversation ids to Sessions, drop the id entirely from the run config rather than leaving it set.

## Steps

1. Choose either an SDK Session or the server-side conversation id for each conversation, never both, or the run fails. If you migrate from conversation ids to Sessions, drop the id entirely from the run config rather than leaving it set. Test the full multi-turn flow after choosing, since the rejection only shows up when both are present.

## When to use

You are seeing this: Test the full multi-turn flow after choosing, since the rejection only shows up when both are present. Use this skill when you run into "OpenAI Agents SDK rejects mixing a Session with a server-side conversation id".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
