Errors

Only the errors this operation can return. Every error uses the same envelope.

Status	Code	Meaning
402	`ai_billing_blocked`	AI features are switched off because the Company has no active credit. When: An AI summary or postmortem request while the Company has no active credit. Fix: Top up the credit, then retry. `ai_billing_blocked`: AI features are switched off while the Company is paused or in its grace window. A used-up monthly AI budget also answers 402, with the body `{error, quota}`.
422	`ai_budget_above_platform_limit`	The monthly AI budget is above the platform limit. When: Saving an AI budget larger than the platform allows; details.limit gives the maximum. Fix: Set a budget at or below details.limit.
422	`ai_call_cap_above_platform_limit`	The monthly AI call cap is above the platform limit. When: Saving an AI call cap larger than the platform allows; details.limit gives the maximum. Fix: Set a cap at or below details.limit.
400	`bad_request`	The request is malformed or fails validation.
409	`conflict`	The request conflicts with the current state.
404	`not_found`	The requested resource does not exist or is outside the caller's scope.
403	`permission_denied`	The credentials do not permit this action.
503	`service_unavailable`	The service or a required dependency is temporarily unavailable.

Every call can also return unauthorized (401), rate_limit_exceeded (429) or internal_error (500 / 502). See Responses and errors.
