101002: Lock request already pending

A lock could not be requested because a request for the same lock is already in progress. In Ably Spaces, a member may only have one outstanding request for a given lock at a time.

What you should do

Wait for the pending lock request to resolve before requesting the same lock again. A member can have only one outstanding request for a given lock, so let the first attempt succeed or fail rather than issuing another alongside it.

Why it happens

A lock was requested while a request for the same lock by the same member was still in progress. Lock acquisition is asynchronous, and only one request per lock can be outstanding at a time.

What you'll see

The error is reported with code 101002 and HTTP status 400. The message is lock request already exists.
