Error reference / device-slow-down
Polling too fast
The device-flow poll came sooner than the returned interval.
| Problem type | /problems/device-slow-down |
|---|---|
| HTTP status | 400 |
| Emitted by | REST API (/v1) |
| Title values | Polling too fast. Wait the returned interval |
| Trigger | REST API (/v1): device-flow poll faster than the returned interval; the interval grew |
What happened
POST /v1/device/token was called again before interval seconds had passed since the previous poll for the same device_code. The response is HTTP 400 with this slug, and the interval for that code has grown by five seconds.
What it means
The sign-in is still pending and still valid; the server is asking the client to slow down. Repeated violations keep widening the interval, never invalidating the code.
What to do next
Wait for the current interval, then resume polling at that cadence. The official CLI does this automatically.
