Error: While pulling app/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community/x86_64/stable from remote flathub: Server returned HTTP 404
Updates complete.

Sometimes a different error is thrown such as

Aborted due to failure (While pulling app/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community/x86_64/stable from remote flathub: URI https://dl.flathub.org/repo/deltas/hv/KajdCfFMGZEUBkZ2WtWKpO5Gs1UFe_09u7x5XM+vA-0_YJs8VP3PGCdjYnjk0ntr5eP9qCMCoQYZPFwPlmiNo/4 exceeded maximum size of 2693773 bytes)

Additional Information

It seems that doing fresh install works, however when you want to update you get the bug.
The same issue has also been reported on the flathub/com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community

Disabling delta updates appears to work as well:

flatpak update -vy --no-static-deltas com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community

See Unable to update com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community for similar reports on this.

I really appreciate you sharing this solution, i think it might come in handy for anyone experiencing it. The distro i am in does automatic updates and for some reason one day the intelJ just updated successfully. I did not really do anything. Do you think i should close down this issue or leave it open for anyone else who might stumble upon it?

This is a weird bug, "Server returned HTTP 404" suggests an error with Flathub and #159: Error while updating to latest looks like the correct place to report this. But then there's this "exceeded maximum size" message too and this I only found in the flatpak/ppa-ostree repository, which seems to have zarro bugs, wow.

So, I'd keep this open and hope that someone from @flatpak/flatpak will comment here :-)

I just had a very similar issue on SteamOS but with KDE Application Platform where I was getting those both errors (mostly 404 but also the maximum size one sometimes). Tried everything I was finding online and only this solved my problem once and for all.

Disabling delta updates appears to work as well:

flatpak update -vy --no-static-deltas com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community

See Unable to update com.jetbrains.IntelliJ-IDEA-Community for similar reports on this.

At the beginning it was also causing other flatpaks not to update from the Discover app (they updated only through konsole after).
In my case the errors were:

Aborted due to failure (While pulling runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/6.6 from remote flathub: Server returned HTTP 404)
or
Aborted due to failure (While pulling runtime/org.kde.Platform/x86_64/6.6 from remote flathub: URI https://dl.flathub.org/repo/deltas/Ix/B1UAgtrzsokqSg2yVDg4V4yogjQKdWuYi8XBYUVAw-4VthpO55ghIYWdBxLaw2c9LHnwmajaCCO45rG2B+_Rw/3 exceeded maximum size of 1430261 bytes)

solved with:
flatpak update -vy --no-static-deltas org.kde.Platform

Thank you!
