Google Play Billing Library - querySkuDetailsAsync occasionally returns BillingResponseCode.ERROR (6)
For future reference and some other people suffering from this (like me at IAB 3.0.1), someone at the issue tracker bug that OP opened posted a comment about how we should react if we receive this code
Error 6 (https://developer.android.com/reference/com/android/billingclient/api/BillingClient.BillingResponseCode#error) usually represents a transient error from our backend servers. This error code should trigger a retry which in most cases should succeed.

example code:
@Overridepublic void onSkuDetailsResponse(@NonNull BillingResult billingResult, @Nullable List<SkuDetails> list) { Utils.log("BILLING: onSkuDetailsResponse(). Result (" + billingResult.getResponseCode() + ") List size: " + (list == null ? "null" : list.size())); if (billingResult.getResponseCode() == BillingClient.BillingResponseCode.OK && list != null) { if (mSkuQueryErrorCounter > 0) mSkuQueryErrorCounter--; // process the SkuDetail list... } } else { // https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/139631105#comment11 mSkuQueryErrorCounter++; if (mSkuQueryErrorCounter <= 2) scheduleUpdate(NOW); else if (mSkuQueryErrorCounter < 5) scheduleUpdate(TEN_SECONDS); else if (mSkuQueryErrorCounter < 10) scheduleUpdate(ONE_HOUR); else scheduleUpdate(ONE_DAY); }}
