Error message

Transcription job already exists

What it means

Raised in `submitTask` when an existing copilot transcription task for the same user/workspace/blob is still in 'pending' or 'running' status — the CopilotTranscriptionJobExists guard prevents duplicate concurrent transcription of the same audio blob. The input at fault is a repeated submission for a blob that already has an active job.

Solutions

1. Use the existing transcription job instead of creating a duplicate for the same audio.
2. Wait for or poll the existing job to completion.
3. Delete or let the previous job settle before submitting the same audio again.
