Failed to update tier

Error message

Failed to update tier

What it means

Raised by execute_transfer when tr.status == 'COMPLETED'. The resource has already been moved to the target org and the transfer row marked complete; executing again is refused. Prevents double execution (and double side effects) of the same transfer.

Solutions

Treat this error as success: catch it, re-fetch the transfer, and confirm COMPLETED with the expected completedAt.
Disable the execute action once status is COMPLETED and refresh after executing.
Have the client pass an idempotency key / check status before retrying after a timeout.

Example fix

# before
resp = await client.post(f"/transfers/{tid}/execute")

# after
try:
    resp = await client.post(f"/transfers/{tid}/execute")
except ValueError as e:
    if "already been executed" in str(e):
        resp = await client.get(f"/transfers/{tid}")  # idempotent recovery
    else:
        raise

Defensive patterns

Strategy: try-catch

Validate before calling

tr = await get_transfer(transfer_id)
if tr.status == "COMPLETED":
    return  # already executed; treat as success

Type guard

def is_executable(tr: TransferResponse) -> bool:
    return tr.status != "COMPLETED" and tr.status != "REJECTED"

Try / catch

try:
    await execute_transfer(tid, user_id, org_id)
except ValueError as e:
    if "already been executed" in str(e):
        pass  # idempotent success
    else:
        raise

Prevention

After a timeout, re-fetch status before retrying execute
Disable execute once status is COMPLETED
Design execute flows to be idempotent on the client

When it happens

Trigger: Retrying an execute call whose first attempt succeeded (e.g. the response was lost to a timeout); two parties executing concurrently and the second call seeing the COMPLETED row.

Common situations: Network timeout on the first execute followed by a manual retry; race between source and target org both clicking execute; stale UI still offering execute.
