gRPC 1 CANCELLED vs 12 UNIMPLEMENTED

Both gRPC 1 (CANCELLED) and 12 (UNIMPLEMENTED) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 1 indicates that the operation was cancelled, typically by the caller. Meanwhile, 12 means that the operation is not implemented or is not supported/enabled in this service.

Description

The operation was cancelled, typically by the caller.

When You See It

The client explicitly cancelled the RPC, or a deadline or context cancellation propagated to the server before it could finish processing.

How to Fix

If unexpected, check whether the client is setting too-short deadlines or if cancellation is being triggered inadvertently in your call chain.

Description

The operation is not implemented or is not supported/enabled in this service.

When You See It

The client called an RPC method that the server does not implement. This often happens when the client uses a newer proto definition than the server supports.

How to Fix

Verify the server version supports the method you're calling. Update the server to implement the missing method, or use an alternative endpoint.
