What happened

This process is about to stop taking work — a deploy draining, most often. Nothing is broken.

What to do

Retry. Shortly, or against another instance, it will work.

Is retrying worth it

Yes. The identical request can succeed once the moment passes — nothing else has to change first.

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.
