Create site is failing using REST API - Inconsistent behavior

REST Endpoint: http://<sp>/_api/web/webs/add

We are getting the below error randomly while creating a site.

Error:
error : {"error_message":{"response_code":500,"code":0,"message":"400 - A required parameter is not specified or has null or invalid value.{\"odata.error\":{\"code\":\"-2147024809, System.ArgumentException\",\"message\":{\"lang\":\"en-US\",\"value\":\"Value does not fall within the expected range.\"}}}}}

Hi @AbdulSaifBabu-7422 ,

I'm creating the sub site using "/_api/web/webinfos/add":

 Uri: {rootsite}/_api/web/webinfos/add
 Method: POST
 Header: {content-type:'application/json;odata=verbose'}
 Body:{
    "parameters":{
       "__metadata":{
          "type":"SP.WebInfoCreationInformation"
       },
       "Url":"NewSubSite",
       "Description":"NewSubSite description",
       "Title":"NewSubSite Site",
       "Language":1033,
       "WebTemplate":"STS#0",
       "UseUniquePermissions":true
    }
 }
