title: 5010: Media source capacity exhausted. | API Docs
description: No fetch capacity is free for source_url right now.
---

**HTTP status:** `503`.

The service’s shared capacity for fetching and holding partner-hosted media is fully in use. The send was not accepted and nothing was fetched. No Retry-After is quoted; capacity frees within seconds as other fetches complete.

## Troubleshooting

- Retry the same request shortly.
- Upload the bytes with POST /v1/media and send the returned upload\_ref, which does not use fetch capacity.
