Answer 1

Twilio developer evangelist here.
From the documentation:
Twilio deletes the verification SID once it’s:
expired (10 minutes)
approved
when the max attempts to check a code have been reached
If any of these occur, verification checks will return a 404 not found error like this:
Unable to create record: The requested resource /Services/VAXXXXXXXXXXXXX/VerificationCheck was not found
If you’d like to double check what happened with a given verification - please use the logs found in the Twilio Console under your Verification Service:
I've found that if you submit a form twice by clicking a submit button twice quickly, that the verification is successfully checked and then because it was a success deleted, then the second check fails with a 404 like this and that is the error result you see. To avoid this, you should stop users from being able to submit the form twice by disabling the submit button after the first attempt.

I can confirm that philnash 2nd statement is correct. However wouldn't it have been handled way better if instead we just get a response from client.verify.services(serviceSSID).verificationChecks that the 2nd (and so on checks) failed??
