For example, a successful response from a server could have been delayed long enough for the deadline to expire. HTTP Mapping: 504 Gateway Timeout |
NOT_FOUND |
Some requested entity (e.g., file or directory) was not found. Note to server developers: if a request is denied for an entire class of users, such as gradual feature rollout or undocumented allowlist, HTTP Mapping: 404 Not Found |

ABORTED |
The operation was aborted, typically due to a concurrency issue such as a sequencer check failure or transaction abort. See the guidelines above for deciding between HTTP Mapping: 409 Conflict |
OUT_OF_RANGE |
The operation was attempted past the valid range. E.g., seeking or reading past end-of-file. Unlike There is a fair bit of overlap between HTTP Mapping: 400 Bad Request |
UNIMPLEMENTED |
The operation is not implemented or is not supported/enabled in this service. HTTP Mapping: 501 Not Implemented |
INTERNAL |
Internal errors. This means that some invariants expected by the underlying system have been broken. This error code is reserved for serious errors. HTTP Mapping: 500 Internal Server Error |
