# import_running

HTTP 409 · Imports (SPEC §19.1)

An import into this environment is running. Wait for it to finish, or resume it once its current step ends.

## Does retrying help?

Yes, after waiting. Send the same request again once the wait in the message has passed (the `Retry-After` header says how long, when there is one).

## The response

Every Flatstack error has this shape. `details`, when present, says more about this case.
