# X_STORAGE_NOT_PENDING

## Means

the key is not a pending upload

## Typical cause

promoteAttachment was handed a key outside the org pending/ prefix — most often an already-attached key a client sent back. It checked only that the key was inside the org, so another row file was copied onto this row and the original deleted from the victim

## Fix

promote the key grantUpload returned with no target — an attached key already belongs to a row, so promote the pending upload the client just sent: promoteAttachment({ disk, key: pendingKey(orgId, name), orgId, target })
