idempotency_in_progress (HTTP 409)

idempotency_in_progress (HTTP 409) from the GetItDone API: A request with this Idempotency-Key is still executing — the retry raced the original.

What it means

A request with this Idempotency-Key is still executing — the retry raced the original.

Likely causes

  • A retry fired before the first request finished.

How to fix

  • Wait briefly and retry with the same key — the stored result replays once the first call completes.
  • Use a short exponential backoff on retries.
