# RETRY_NOT_ALLOWED

> Retry not allowed

| HTTP status | Retryable |
| - | - |
| `409` | No |

## What happened

Blujay can't safely send this message again. It may already have reached the recipient, or it is a kind of message that can't be retried, such as a group message.

## How to fix it

Don't automatically send a replacement. Check the message with `GET /v1/messages/{message_id}` and the conversation, for example for a reply. Send a new message only when you're sure the first one didn't arrive, or when a possible duplicate is acceptable.

## Example response

An illustrative example. The `message` wording and the contents of `details` vary; branch on `error.code`.

```json theme={null}
{
  "status": "error",
  "error": {
    "code": "RETRY_NOT_ALLOWED",
    "message": "Retry not allowed",
    "type": "validation",
    "http_status": 409,
    "retryable": false,
    "doc_url": "https://docs.blujay.io/errors/retry-not-allowed",
    "details": []
  },
  "trace_id": "trc_8f2a1c0e4b7d",
  "timestamp": "2026-10-14T17:30:48.000Z"
}
```

## Still stuck?

Email [support@blujay.io](mailto:support@blujay.io) with the `trace_id` from the error response. See [Errors](/errors.md) for the response format.
