The best message would be no message. That is, if your code can automatically handle the error for the user by re-trying a set number of times, or perhaps scheduling the work for later.
Failing that, a message specific to the user’s task would be most useful. For example, instead of “An error occurred” you might say “Your order could not be submitted right now – please try again later” or something to that effect.
