Likely Causes
  1. MongoDB returned code 162 (NOT_YET_AVAILABLE_TransactionAborted) while processing this request path.
  2. Transaction/session lifecycle moved to a conflicting state before completion.
  3. Atomic commit/abort guarantees could not be upheld for the in-flight operation.
How to Fix It
1
Review logs/telemetry for code 162 (NOT_YET_AVAILABLE_TransactionAborted) and capture the exact command and parameters that triggered it.
2
Review coordinator logs to distinguish retriable aborts from terminal state conflicts.
3
Load full transaction/session trace to identify the exact conflicting transition.
4
Retry the whole transaction flow (not partial fragments) with idempotent boundaries.
5
Add monitoring for recurring NOT_YET_AVAILABLE_TransactionAborted events so future incidents are detected and triaged faster.
Pro Tip
This issue typically requires professional diagnosis. Attempting this fix without proper training could cause further problems.
