The request was accepted for processing, which has not finished.
What it means
Typical of asynchronous jobs. The response often includes a status URL to poll or promises a webhook.

Poll the status URL with backoff, or wait for the callback. Do not assume the work succeeded.
Should you retry?
No. Repeating the same request will give the same result.
