# E32003 — OperationConfirmationExpired

This proposal's execution window closed before a result was recorded.

- **HTTP status**: `409`
- **Type**: `conflict_error`
- **Name**: `OperationConfirmationExpired`

## What to do

Do not repropose the same work on the assumption that nothing ran. This answer establishes only that no result was recorded, so establish what happened to the earlier attempt first, in the operation's own records, and propose again only for work you have confirmed is still needed.
