## Statements (checkable)
0. The Next.js error page DynamicServerError - Dynamic Server Usage says it occurs when a function that depends on Async Context (such as headers or cookies from next/headers) is not bound to the same call stack as the function that ran it, for example cookies() inside setTimeout or setInterval, or after an un-awaited promise.  [✓0 ✗0]
1. While generating static pages Next.js throws DynamicServerError on a dynamic function and catches it to opt the page into dynamic rendering; when it is not caught it becomes a build-time error.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
Call cookies()/headers() directly in the component or route (awaited, not inside setTimeout/setInterval or a detached promise), and do not wrap them in try/catch that swallows the error; mark the route dynamic if it must read request data.
```
