idempotency_ key_ reused
The Idempotency-Key was already used for a different request.
On this page
HTTP status: 422 Unprocessable Entity. Retrying the same request unchanged fails the same way.
Why it happens
- The same key was sent with a different body, method or path.
- Keys are remembered for at least 24 hours (currently 7 days).
What to do
Use a new key for a new request. Reuse a key only to retry exactly the same request.
Example
The response is application/problem+json. Branch on code, never on title or detail. See errors for the format.
