conflict

The request conflicts with the current state of the resource. Wait for the resource to reach the expected state and retry.

The conflict error occurs when a request cannot be completed because the resource is in a state that conflicts with the requested operation.

Details

• HTTP Status: 409 Conflict

• Retryable: Yes

• Task State: FAILED

When does this occur?

This error is returned when:

• You attempt to cancel a task that is still in the pending state (the task has not yet been claimed by a worker)

The operation can typically succeed once the resource transitions to the expected state.
