Errors

service_unavailable

The work could not be queued, so the Run failed uncharged.

Status

HTTP 503, title Service unavailable. One of the upstream and ours errors. Branch on code, never on the status or the prose.

Common causes

  • Our background queue did not accept the work.

What to do

We could not start the work right now. The Run failed and nothing was charged; retry with a backoff.

Example

The body arrives as application/problem+json. Most responses add detail about the occurrence, and some add fields of their own.
