## TL;DR

Distinguish a failed job (fix the input) from a timed-out job (retry or split the document). Poll the job until it reaches a terminal state; do not assume completion from the submit response.

## Fix

1. Distinguish a failed job (fix the input) from a timed-out job (retry or split the document).
   Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

## When to use

- You are setting up or using this Reducto Go SDK feature.
- The symptom matches: async jobs must be polled and oversized results arrive as URLs.

## When NOT to use

- Unrelated Reducto Go SDK issues (different feature, different failure).
- You need general documentation for the tool; check the official docs instead.

## Compatibility

Reported against Reducto Go SDK.

## Variant phrasings

### async jobs must be polled and oversized results arrive as URLs

## Why it happens

Official docs (Reducto Go SDK README): documents that async parse jobs return a job handle to poll, that results may be returned as a URL-backed result when they exceed the inline size limit, and that failed jobs and timed-out jobs are distinct states to handle.

## Edge cases

- If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
- If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.
