# X_CURSOR_INVALID

## Means

pagination cursor is malformed, tampered with or from another query

## Typical cause

signature mismatch — an edited cursor, or `ULTIMATE_CURSOR_SECRET` rotated — or a cursor built for a different query, filter or sort order

## Fix

drop the cursor and request the first page (`after: null`)
