# Appointment Confirmation In Progress

> The booking request is already being confirmed

## Cause

A confirmation workflow already owns this booking request. Customer cancellation, barber decline, and server expiry cannot win while its durable money outcome is reconciling.

## Fix

Refresh the appointment and poll while `bookingRequest.state` is `confirming`.

## Retry safety

Not retryable until the underlying state or request changes.
