Every error uses the [same envelope](https://upfour.io/docs/api/responses.md). | Status | Code | Meaning | | --- | --- | --- | | 400 | [bad_request](https://upfour.io/docs/api/errors#code-bad_request) | The request is malformed or fails validation. | | 402 | [billing_action_unavailable](https://upfour.io/docs/api/errors#code-billing_action_unavailable) | The Company's billing state does not allow this action. **When:** A metered or limited action while the billing state, such as paused or without credit, blocks it; details holds the action and billing_state. **Fix:** Top up the credit or change the plan, then retry. | | 404 | [not_found](https://upfour.io/docs/api/errors#code-not_found) | The requested resource does not exist or is outside the caller's scope. | | 403 | [permission_denied](https://upfour.io/docs/api/errors#code-permission_denied) | The credentials do not permit this action. | | 503 | [quota_gate_unavailable](https://upfour.io/docs/api/errors#code-quota_gate_unavailable) | The limit check itself failed, so the action was not carried out. **When:** The quota service could not decide while the request ran. **Fix:** Retry in a moment; nothing was changed. | | 403 / 429 | [quota_limit_reached](https://upfour.io/docs/api/errors#code-quota_limit_reached) | A usage or inventory limit of the Company was reached. **When:** Counters and concurrency limits answer 429 with Retry-After, inventory and capacity limits answer 403; details holds purpose, limit and window. **Fix:** On 429 wait Retry-After seconds; on 403 free something up, request a higher limit where details.raise_request is true, or buy an extension. `quota_limit_reached` (window `total`): the Company already holds the most of these it may have. `error.details` carries `purpose` and `limit`; remove one or ask support for a higher limit. | Every call can also return `unauthorized` (401), `rate_limit_exceeded` (429) or `internal_error` (500 / 502).
