rate_unavailable

HTTP status: 503. Retrying the same request can succeed.

Why it happens

• Nowgate's rate engine prices an asset only when two independent sources agree, one of them an oracle. The detail says why it can't now: too few sources, sources that disagree, a sudden jump being held, or a stablecoin outside its peg.
• The rates may be older than three minutes, while the network's endpoints are slow.

What to do

Retry after a minute with the same Idempotency-Key, offer the payer another asset, or price the payment in the asset with amount. GET /v1/rates shows each asset's state.

Example

The response is application/problem+json. Branch on code, never on title or detail. See errors for the format.
