Too often, in programming, the two terms status or state are used indifferently.
I did some search on Internet and I found this answer that I consider reasonable … anyway you can comment on it   😉

status == how are you? [es. good/bad]

state == what are you doing? [es. resting/working]

Examples:

• cpu state
• thread state
• state machine

• return status
• raid volume status
• application status
• account status

In some other places I found also this futher consideration, that can be useful: State is one of the conditions that an entity can have, Status is the actual condition assumed by an entity at the request time.
