2008253673 Sync fails with “Too many retries” and repeated HTTP 500 errors (Zotero 7.0.27 on macOS

Hi,
I’m having ongoing sync problems with Zotero 7.0.27 (ARM64, macOS 15.5). The sync keeps stopping with the message “Could not sync Meine Bibliothek – too many retries”.

In the error console I see repeated messages like:

HTTP GET https://api.zotero.org/users/16864996/... failed with status code 500: An error occurred
HTTP POST https://api.zotero.org/users/16864996/items failed with status code 500
ZoteroObjectUploadError: An error occurred
Made no progress during upload -- stopping

I already tried:
• Resetting the sync history and file sync history
• Disabling automatic sync
• Disabling Better BibTeX auto-export
• Turning off file syncing
• Restarting Zotero and logging in again

The issue persists — sync starts, then fails again with HTTP 500 errors and “too many retries”.

Is this a known server issue, or could a specific item in my library be corrupted (e.g., item key AQSMEHXW)?
Any advice on how to identify and fix the problematic entry would be appreciated.

Thank you!
