Strongly Consistent About endpoint data consistency

Pauses exporting on all partitions of the physical tenant. While paused, exported records are not committed, so the log is not compacted for the affected partitions.

With soft=true, exporting continues to run but its position is not committed, so the state after resuming is identical to a hard pause; use this variant when exporting must keep progressing (e.g. to avoid falling behind) while still preventing log compaction, such as during a backup.

An internal error occurred while processing the request.

503

The service is currently unavailable. This may happen only on some requests where the system creates backpressure to prevent the server's compute resources from being exhausted, avoiding more severe failures. In this case, the title of the error object contains RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. Clients are recommended to eventually retry those requests after a backoff period. You can learn more about the backpressure mechanism here: https://docs.camunda.io/docs/components/zeebe/technical-concepts/internal-processing/#handling-backpressure .
