WebSocket 1007 Invalid Payload Data vs 1013 Try Again Later
Both WebSocket 1007 (Invalid Payload Data) and 1013 (Try Again Later) belong to the WebSocket Close Codes category. 1007 indicates that an endpoint received a message with payload data that is inconsistent with the message type. For example, a text message contained non-UTF-8 data. Meanwhile, 1013 means that the server is terminating the connection due to a temporary condition, such as being overloaded. The client should reconnect after a back-off period.
Description
An endpoint received a message with payload data that is inconsistent with the message type. For example, a text message contained non-UTF-8 data.
Quand vous le voyez
A text frame was received but its payload is not valid UTF-8. This commonly happens when binary data is accidentally sent as a text frame.
Comment résoudre
Ensure text frames contain only valid UTF-8 encoded data. If you need to send raw bytes, use binary frames instead of text frames.
Description
The server is terminating the connection due to a temporary condition, such as being overloaded. The client should reconnect after a back-off period.
Quand vous le voyez
The server is temporarily overloaded or throttling connections. Unlike 1012, this does not indicate a restart — the server is running but cannot serve more clients right now.
Comment résoudre
Reconnect using exponential backoff (start at 1 second, double each attempt). If persistent, investigate server capacity, scale horizontally, or reduce the number of concurrent connections.
