Hub account deletion failed with status {status}

Error message

Hub account deletion failed with status {status}

What it means

Final fallback in the auth-module delete_account: the Hub returned a non-success status with no parseable structured error and not 401/403, so only the interpolated HTTP status is reported. The account was not deleted; the failure cause is unknown from the client side (commonly a gateway error or unexpected server state).

Solutions

1. Note the status code in the message and check Atuin Hub service status
2. Retry after a delay (especially for 5xx/429)
3. Update the atuin CLI in case the deletion API changed

// probe Hub availability before the destructive call
// e.g. GET /me returns 200 => proceed

match delete_account(...).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string().contains("status 5") || e.to_string().contains("status 429") => {
        tokio::time::sleep(Duration::from_secs(30)).await;
        // retry once
    }
    other => /* handle normally */ (),
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling delete_account and receiving unexpected statuses such as 500 (server error), 429 (rate limit), or 404 (endpoint moved).

Common situations: Atuin Hub outage or maintenance; API version drift; aggressive retry loops hitting rate limits.
