There appears to be an intermittant issue while attempting to accept reference matches in the game.
The issues seems to appear every once in a while with no apparent consistency in behavior. Therefore, reproduction is tricky.

I was only able to reproduce again today, here is the API response:

Seems like it does have something to do with duplicate matches perhaps related to T253956

Closing all tickets for the Reference Treasure Hunt since we will probably not revive it as-is.
