usage_check_unavailable
The message text is shown in the example below.
| HTTP status | 503 |
type | service_unavailable_error |
| Retry? | Yes, with back-off after Retry-After |
| Status | In the public catalog (error-envelope.ts) |
| Extra fields | limit, resets_at, retry_after |
When it happens
Your usage could not be checked, so the request was not run.
Example
{
"error": {
"type": "service_unavailable_error",
"code": "usage_check_unavailable",
"message": "Usage can't be verified right now. Please retry in a moment.",
"param": null,
"request_id": "req_6f1c2a9e0b7d4c3a8e5f1b2d",
"limit": "unavailable",
"resets_at": null,
"retry_after": 5
}
}How to fix it
- Retry after 5 seconds.
Detect it in code
err = resp.json().get("error", {})
if resp.status_code == 503 and err.get("code") == "usage_check_unavailable":
delay = err.get("retry_after") or 2
time.sleep(delay) # then retryRelated
