## TL;DR

Check the subtype when present: MailboxFull, MessageTooLarge, ContentRejected, AttachmentRejected, or General. MessageTooLarge and ContentRejected will not resolve on their own; MailboxFull often will.

## Steps

1. Log it against the `email_id` as a transient state. Common causes: recipient's inbox full, receiving server transient issue.
2. Check the subtype when present: MailboxFull, MessageTooLarge, ContentRejected, AttachmentRejected, or General. MessageTooLarge and ContentRejected will not resolve on their own; MailboxFull often will.
3. Watch, do not act. If it resolves, `email.delivered` follows. If it does not, `email.bounced` follows.

## When to use

You are seeing this: The email could not be delivered due to a temporary issue. Use this skill when you run into "Resend event: email.delivery_delayed, a soft bounce, Resend is retrying".

## When not to use

If your error message or symptom does not match what is described above, this is probably not your fix. Search for your exact error text instead of forcing this one to fit.

## Versions

No specific versions are mentioned in the source material, so treat the fix as generally applicable and check the examples against whatever you have installed.

## Why this happens

The original report does not dig into a root cause. It documents the symptom and the fix that resolved it.
