gRPC 1 CANCELLED vs 8 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED
Both gRPC 1 (CANCELLED) and 8 (RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 1 indicates that the operation was cancelled, typically by the caller. Meanwhile, 8 means that some resource has been exhausted, perhaps a per-user quota, or the entire file system is out of space.
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
Some resource has been exhausted, perhaps a per-user quota, or the entire file system is out of space.
When You See It
A rate limit was hit, a quota was exceeded, or the server ran out of memory/disk. Common with API rate limiting and resource quotas.
How to Fix
Implement exponential backoff and retry. If quota-related, request a quota increase or optimize your usage pattern to stay within limits.
Key Differences
gRPC 1: The operation was cancelled, typically by the caller.
gRPC 8: Some resource has been exhausted, perhaps a per-user quota, or the entire file system is out of space.
You encounter 1 when the client explicitly cancelled the RPC, or a deadline or context cancellation propagated to the server before it could finish processing.
You encounter 8 when a rate limit was hit, a quota was exceeded, or the server ran out of memory/disk. Common with API rate limiting and resource quotas.
When to Use Which
For 1 (CANCELLED): If unexpected, check whether the client is setting too-short deadlines or if cancellation is being triggered inadvertently in your call chain. For 8 (RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED): Implement exponential backoff and retry. If quota-related, request a quota increase or optimize your usage pattern to stay within limits.
