# A sync of the data source is running

> Canonical HTML: https://screenrig.ai/problems/source-busy

HTTP 409 · `source_busy`

## What it means

The API answers with HTTP 409 Conflict and an `application/problem+json` document when the condition is A sync of the data source is running. The document's `type` member is `https://screenrig.ai/problems/source-busy`, the address of this page, and its `code` member is `source_busy`.

## What to do

A scheduled sync holds the source. Wait for the retry interval the response gives (Retry-After), then refresh again; the sync in progress updates the status on its own.

## Player action

This problem defines no Player action class. It belongs to a project, pairing or account flow that an agent or the dashboard drives.
