# Unanswered

## What it means

The run was waiting on a person and didn't get what it needed. Nobody answered its request in time, or its message couldn't be delivered. Nothing more of the run happens.

## What to do

Read the problem's `detail` first. It says what happened to this request.

The `kind` says which it was:

*   `expired`: nobody answered before the request expired, though it may have reached someone. Start a new run to ask again, with more time if needed.
*   `undelivered`: the message couldn't be delivered. Whoever runs the server can look into the tool the `detail` names, and then a new run can send it again.

Use a new `run_id` for the new run. The same `run_id` returns this answer again.

## Technical details

*   Type: `https://on.auto/problems/unanswered`
*   Status: 410
*   Reason: `unanswered`
*   `kind`: `expired` or `undelivered`
