# Refund Already Requested

> A refund has already been requested for this appointment

## Cause

A refund request already exists for this appointment. Guile will not create a duplicate request; no second refund was opened.

## Fix

Read the existing refund request and wait for or act on that request. Do not create another refund for the same appointment payment.

## Retry safety

Not retryable until the underlying state or request changes.

## Raised by

These operations can return this problem:

* [Request a refund](/api-reference/refunds/request-a-refund)
