# X_PWA_PUSH_REJECTED

## Means

the push service refused the message and will refuse it again

## Typical cause

a 400, 401, 403 or 413: a VAPID key the subscription was not made with, a subject the service refuses, or a body it will not take. Logged by `pushToActor` and counted as `refused`, never retried; on a 401 or 403 the subscription is deleted — it was made with a key this server no longer signs with — and `subscribeToPush` replaces a browser's stale one the next time it asks

## Fix

`x vapid show` — a 403 after a key change means every subscriber subscribes again
