What the detail says

The detail explains the occurrence; it can read, for example:

• The WhatsApp Business Account is in maintenance. Try again later.
• WhatsApp could not send the message for an unknown reason. Try again.
• WhatsApp is not configured on this server.
• WhatsApp is temporarily unavailable. Try again in a moment.
• WhatsApp onboarding is not configured on this server.

Handling it

An upstream service (such as WhatsApp) failed; retry later or follow the message. Briefly unavailable; retry with backoff.
