# segment_busy

> Segment busy: HTTP 409 from the Rask API v3. What it means, what to do and which operations return it.

| Status | `retry` | `recommendation` |
| - | - | - |
| 409 | `same_key` | `wait` |

## What happened

Segment busy. For example: Segments are translating or voicing.

## What to do

Wait for the translation or segment generation job on these segments, then re-read and retry.

`wait`: work in progress blocks the request; wait for it to end, then retry.

`same_key`: resend the same request with the same Idempotency-Key (after `Retry-After` when given).

## Example

```json theme={null}
{
  "type": "https://docs.api.rask.ai/errors/segment_busy",
  "title": "Segment busy",
  "status": 409,
  "detail": "Segments are translating or voicing.",

  "retryable": true,
  "retry": "same_key",
  "recommendation": "wait",
  "hint": "Wait for the translation or segment generation job on these segments, then re-read and retry.",
  "errors": [],
  "segment_ids": [
    "8b3d1e9f-6a2c-4d7e-b5f1-3c9e7a1d5b22"
