If a request to check credentials fails because another user started the process, what action should be taken?

When a request to check credentials fails due to another user initiating the process, the appropriate action is to wait for the current request to complete. This approach ensures that the system can properly manage concurrent requests without interrupting the ongoing process. Restarting components like the ActiveGate or deleting pending requests could disrupt operations and lead to data inconsistencies or unnecessary complications. Changing user permissions might not directly address the immediate issue of a conflicting request and could create further complications regarding access. By allowing the current request to finish, you maintain system stability and ensure that all operations proceed in an orderly manner. This practice is essential for effective system management and user experience.
