Both gRPC 8 (RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED) and 10 (ABORTED) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 8 indicates that some resource has been exhausted, perhaps a per-user quota, or the entire file system is out of space. Meanwhile, 10 means that the operation was aborted, typically due to a concurrency issue such as a sequencer check failure or transaction abort.
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.
Description
The operation was aborted, typically due to a concurrency issue such as a sequencer check failure or transaction abort.
When You See It
A transaction or optimistic concurrency check failed — for example, a read-modify-write cycle detected a conflict with another concurrent operation.
How to Fix
Retry the entire read-modify-write sequence from the beginning. Implement proper optimistic concurrency control with version tokens or ETags.
Key Differences
gRPC 8: Some resource has been exhausted, perhaps a per-user quota, or the entire file system is out of space.
gRPC 10: The operation was aborted, typically due to a concurrency issue such as a sequencer check failure or transaction abort.
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.
You encounter 10 when a transaction or optimistic concurrency check failed — for example, a read-modify-write cycle detected a conflict with another concurrent operation.
When to Use Which
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. For 10 (ABORTED): Retry the entire read-modify-write sequence from the beginning. Implement proper optimistic concurrency control with version tokens or ETags.
