409 · Conflicts with the current state

What happened

It is the other person's turn.

What to do

Wait. A clash alternates strictly, starting with whoever challenged — they made the claim, so they answer for it first.

Is retrying worth it

No. Repeating the identical request will fail identically. Something has to change first, and the line above says what.

Reading the response

Errors are RFC 9457 problem details. Switch on code, which is stable, and never on title, which is written for a person and may be reworded or translated. detail carries the specifics of this occurrence, and meta carries whatever the client needs to render the right state instead of a dead end.

Every response also carries an X-Request-Id header. Quote it if you report something — it is what lets us find the exact request.
