# System errors

> Configuration and recovery classifications that need ops or support — including what Lambda fixes itself.

A **system error** means the document is not necessarily wrong. Configuration, provider availability, delivery, or recovery blocked safe continuation.

The workspace may still show **Failed**. The classification ID identifies the support path. Start from [Workspace](/stamping/workspace/overview) if you are matching a note to the right page.

## Kinds of system error

| Kind                 | What it usually means                                           |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Configuration**    | Admin must finish setup, credentials, or billing                |
| **Transient system** | Automatic recovery may continue. Avoid duplicates while it runs |
| **Permanent system** | Deliberate corrective retry or Jaantonio support                |

A system error can happen after stamping — for example outbound delivery failing while the CFDI is already issued. In that case, fix delivery; do not re-stamp.

## What Lambda fixes itself

For some system stops, Lambda **automatically recovers** without changing what it already intended to stamp:

* Work that was accepted but never started processing
* Mid-flight work that can safely continue the exact same attempt
* Limited retries when a stamp system error is known to be safe to retry

Automatic recovery does not remap the document or invent a new fiscal intent. When recovery budgets are exhausted, the document stays a system error and needs a deliberate [corrective path](/stamping/retry/corrective) or Jaantonio support — not a second blind stamp.

See [Recovery](/stamping/retry/overview) for the full automatic vs corrective picture and [How stamping works](/stamping/how-it-works) for why stamp and delivery are separate.
