# X_JOB_LEASE_LOST

## Means

the queue took this job back mid-run

## Typical cause

`x jobs cancel` wrote a terminal state, or this worker's visibility lease lapsed and another worker re-claimed the row. Its own code and not `X_ABORTED` because the response differs: `X_ABORTED` is "your deadline passed, make the work smaller", this is "somebody else owns this run now, stop writing to it"

## Fix

`x jobs show <id> --json`
