## What happened

Events are briefly unavailable.

## Why

The event store (or the live connection the stream uses) is not available on this server right now.

## How to fix it

Retry shortly from your last cursor; nothing is lost, events are read from a durable log.

## Example response

```json
{
  "error": "events_unavailable",
  "message": "Events are briefly unavailable."
}
```
