# change_freeze

> A change freeze is in effect. Changes to this environment are paused, either by a scheduled freeze or during an incident.

**A change freeze is in effect.** Changes to this environment are paused, either by a scheduled freeze or during an incident. Reads still work.

- **HTTP status:** `403 Forbidden`
- **CLI exit code:** `3` (forbidden or denied by policy)
- **Retry:** not as it is; the same request will fail the same way until the cause is fixed

## How to fix it

Retry after {freeze_ends_at}, or ask an Owner to approve an exception.

Words in `{braces}` are filled in from the error response, which names the exact resource.

## What the response looks like

```json
{
  "type": "https://guv.dev/errors/change_freeze",
  "title": "A change freeze is in effect",
  "status": 403,
  "code": "change_freeze",
  "detail": "Changes to this environment are paused, either by a scheduled freeze or during an incident.",
  "fix": "Retry after {freeze_ends_at}, or ask an Owner to approve an exception.",
  "docs_url": "https://guv.dev/errors/change_freeze",
  "request_id": "req_01jbx2m9k7q4r8t5v6w3y0z1rq"
}
```

The `code` field is stable: match on it, not on `title` or `detail`, which may be reworded.
