STATUS_SERVER_SHUTDOWN_IN_PROGRESS
The remote server is already shutting down
The server accepted no new operation because its shutdown sequence has begun. Existing connections may be draining, services may be stopping, and resources can disappear in an order that makes subsequent errors look unrelated.
Treat this as a temporary server-state result only if the shutdown is expected. Preserve the server identity and first shutdown event; automatic retries should use backoff and a health check rather than immediately recreating many sessions. In a cluster, verify whether clients should reconnect to another owner or wait for restart.
What to inspect
- Confirm whether shutdown, restart, patching, or failover was scheduled.
- Stop opening new sessions and drain or checkpoint client work.
- Retry only after the server or alternate cluster owner reports healthy.
