# IDEMPOTENCY_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS

> The first request with this `Idempotency-Key` is still running.

`409 Conflict` · type `conflict`

**When it happens**

You retried while the original request with the same key was still being processed, usually because the first attempt timed out on your side.

**What to do**

Wait for the `Retry-After` header (1 second) and retry with the same key. You'll get the original response once it finishes.

## Example

```http Headers theme={null}
Retry-After: 1
```

```json 409 Conflict theme={null}
{
  "error": {
    "type": "conflict",
    "code": "IDEMPOTENCY_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS",
    "message": "A request with this Idempotency-Key is still being processed. Retry shortly.",
    "param": "Idempotency-Key",
    "doc_url": "https://docs.bridgelinepf.com/errors#IDEMPOTENCY_REQUEST_IN_PROGRESS",
    "request_id": "req_8fJ2kQ9xLm4TzW7nB3cY5pDv"
  }
}
```
