Description
Just got this on upload:
The OSM server 'https://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.6/' reported a bad request. Error message(untranslated): Placeholder way not found for reference -111896 in relation -99773
https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/99773/history is deleted since years
What does this error mean?

Thanks for the info. I've got a "GOAWAY received" message while uploading, which also happens at various other occasions.
Another user also seems to have a problem with GOAWAYs: https://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewtopic.php?id=70738
Is there any specific reason for this? Does the API send GOAWAYs if an IP block is sending too many requests?

No idea. I didn't find GOAWAY in the API sources, but maybe I didn't look at the right package.

Replying to GerdP:
No idea. I didn't find GOAWAY in the API sources, but maybe I didn't look at the right package.
GOAWAY is a HTTP/2 response see https://httpwg.org/specs/rfc7540.html#GOAWAY
When a server is shutting down (or get into mayor problems) he tries to finish pending requests but new requests get a GOAWAY response.
Maybe JOSM should handle such a response in a better way.
Both objects have negative ids, so they are new. The problem might be caused by a server problem or by an invalid CS created by JOSM. You can try to save the data and load it again. If that works and data is OK try to upload again. If that still fails post the file here for further analyses.
