This is a criticism of one spicific issue, but I would argue that there shouldn’t be any variation of “try again” messages. If the probably can potentially be resolved with just trying again, shouldn’t the software just do that automatically instead of telling the user to manually retry?

As a user I find those messages verify frustrating because it feels like the software potentially knows what the problem was, what a possible solution is, but makes me do it. (Also simply retrying usually doesn’t solve the issue).
