minor thing

Not a biggie

A minor thing is something of little importance or consequence—a small matter not worth much attention or concern.

The phrase often appears when dismissing or downplaying: Don't worry about it, it's a minor thing.

What counts as minor depends on perspective; one person's minor thing may be another's major issue.
