# X_SCRAPE_BLOCKED

## Means

the site refused this client — the identity is spent

## Typical cause

**retryable, and it burns the session first.** Retrying a block on the *same* persisted identity re-trips it every time: the flagged cookies are the thing being refused, so the retry has to arrive as somebody else or it is arithmetic, not a retry

## Fix

the session is burned and the next attempt starts a new identity — lower `rate:` on the `scrape()` definition if this repeats
