I'm encountering an issue while trying to rename user-created lists using the TMDb v4 API. My process works correctly for the first few times, but after a few successful operations, I consistently receive a 500 Internal Server Error with status_code: 11 and the message: "Internal error: Something went wrong, contact TMDb."
I'm sending a PUT request to the following endpoint:
https://api.themoviedb.org/4/list/{list_id}
The request body:
{"name": "some_new_list_name"}
Could I be overlooking something specific to the v4 list endpoint, or is there a known rate limit or other operational constraint that might lead to this "Internal error: Something went wrong" message after repeated calls? These calls are currently spaced out by more than 1 minute.

Hi @Woutbelt,
Odd, I believe this should be supported. I've created a new ticket for us to look at here.
