# invite_used

> The invitation has already been used. Someone has already created an account with this invitation.

**The invitation has already been used.** Someone has already created an account with this invitation. Each invitation works once.

- **HTTP status:** `409 Conflict`
- **CLI exit code:** `1` (not signed in)
- **Retry:** not as it is; the same request will fail the same way until the cause is fixed

## How to fix it

Sign in or ask for a new invitation.

1. If it was you, sign in instead.
2. If it was not, tell us at once: someone else may have your invitation link.

## What the response looks like

```json
{
  "type": "https://guv.dev/errors/invite_used",
  "title": "The invitation has already been used",
  "status": 409,
  "code": "invite_used",
  "detail": "Someone has already created an account with this invitation.",
  "fix": "Sign in or ask for a new invitation.",
  "docs_url": "https://guv.dev/errors/invite_used",
  "request_id": "req_01jbx2m9k7q4r8t5v6w3y0z1rq"
}
```

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