# readFailure Whether a failed read's HTTP status is the service's (`"failed"`: no answer, signed out, throttled, timed out or failing, so every read waits) or this person's (`"missing"`: the service refused them alone, so they are kept as missing and no one waits). ```tsx import { readFailure } from "@/lib/ouro/people-cache"; ``` ## Example ```tsx if (!response.ok) return [id, readFailure(response.status)]; ``` ## Parameters | Parameter | Type | | --- | --- | | `status` | `number \| undefined` | ## Returns `"missing" | "failed"`
