> recovery instruction conflict (HTTP 409).

| Field | Value |
| - | - |
| Status | `409` |
| Problem `type` | `https://docs.paypathiq.com/problems/recovery_instruction_conflict` |
| Retryable | No |

## When this happens

The instruction identity already governs a different Receivable, or the Receivable is already governed by a different instruction. One instruction governs one Receivable.

## What to do

Reuse the original `externalInstructionId` for that Receivable, with the next revision.
