# `service_unavailable`

> 503. The feature the operation writes to is switched off for the account, and Filmo controls that switch. The request is correct. The spec documents it for the operations that create, update or delete an unavailability on a space, while space unavailabilities are switched off. HTTP 503.

HTTP status: `503` · Problem type: `https://docs.filmo.io/errors/service_unavailable`

## When it happens

503. The feature the operation writes to is switched off for the account, and Filmo controls that switch. The request is correct. The spec documents it for the operations that create, update or delete an unavailability on a space, while space unavailabilities are switched off.

## What to do

Do not retry: the answer does not change until Filmo switches the feature on, and an administrator of the account cannot do it. Stop sending these requests, and ask Filmo support if you need the feature.

## Retry

| Condition | What to do | Note |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 503 service_unavailable | Stop | Do not retry: the feature is switched off for the account. |
