Getting an error for a polygon using Overpy, Overpass Turbo flashes an error but I cannot see what the problem is

Question

I was wondering if anyone could help. I am running a Python program that has to check a couple of hundred polygons to see how many buildings they contain, 95% are polygons are processed fine and seem to be fairly accurate. 5% though fail and when I try to run these queries on Overpass turbo, an error does flash up but it's too fast to catch, I think its mentions the interpreter, and then the map appears with nothing marked. Just to add the polygons are originally GEOJSON and I transform them. One of the shorter problematic queries is below.

Can you shed any light on this?

[out:json][timeout:90];

Answer 1

What you might have seen is the usual popup in overpass turbo when it sends a query to the Overpass API backend, and waits for a reply.

However, in this case, the query is very quick to execute and also does not return any data, hence you will not see anything on the map.

Maybe double check your query: the polygon you're referring to doesn't have any buildings in OSM. The empty result in overpass turbo is totally expected here.
