# X_OUTBOUND_UNAVAILABLE

## Means

an outbound HTTP call answered a retryable status

## Typical cause

the vendor answered 5xx, 408, 409, 425 or 429 with no stated delay, on every attempt outbound() made. The vendor's fault, not the request's: meta.status names the status

## Fix

`curl -sS -m 5 -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' <meta.origin>` — the vendor's fault: re-run the call; if `meta.status` persists, check the status page of the vendor `meta.vendor` names
