"could not retrieve party recruitment information" error message

I am randomly receiving the following error message when trying to join a party in Party Finder "could not retrieve party recruitment information"

Any subsequent attempts to join also result in the same error.

It happens with all kinds of party finders, extreme trials, raids, treasure hunts, FATEs, dungeons, The Hunt, you name it.


Googling the message only brings up irrelevant results. Throwing quotes around "could not retrieve party recruitment information" ONLY brings up github datamining stuff

There seems to be no information on the internet regarding this error message

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

It is very annoying because I am one dog away from 9 tails and Tsukiyomi is VERY prone to this error causing me to NOT get into 95% of Tsukiyomi's Pain parties :(

It means the party filled or stopped recruiting before you could join and you need to refresh in order to remove it from the list. Unfortunately party finder does not update in real time.
