# slow_down

> Polling too fast. The CLI is polling for the device sign-in faster than allowed.

**Polling too fast.** The CLI is polling for the device sign-in faster than allowed.

- **HTTP status:** `400 Bad Request`
- **CLI exit code:** `10` (temporary, safe to retry)
- **Retry:** safe to retry with the same `Idempotency-Key`

## How to fix it

Increase the polling interval by 5 seconds.

## What the response looks like

```json
{
  "type": "https://guv.dev/errors/slow_down",
  "title": "Polling too fast",
  "status": 400,
  "code": "slow_down",
  "detail": "The CLI is polling for the device sign-in faster than allowed.",
  "fix": "Increase the polling interval by 5 seconds.",
  "docs_url": "https://guv.dev/errors/slow_down",
  "request_id": "req_01jbx2m9k7q4r8t5v6w3y0z1rq"
}
```

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