409 Not possible in the state it is in

The machine, or the call, is not in a state where this can happen yet.

When it happens#

• The machine cannot do it in its state, such as pausing a machine that is not running.
• The machine's files cannot be reached just now, because it is not on a server (stopped or archived, for example): start it first.
• The first call with the same Idempotency-Key is still running.

What to do#

Look at the machine's state (wm machines get <machine>), bring it where it needs to be (start it), then try again. For an Idempotency-Key still in use, wait a second and send the same call again.

Send it again? Yes, once the state is right; after Retry-After for an Idempotency-Key still in use.

Every code, and how to read a refusal: Errors.
