Errors and walls

When a metered call cannot proceed, the API returns a structured error carrying one of these codes. Usage walls mean a spendable lane ran out; capacity walls mean a plan ceiling. Credits never lift a capacity wall.

Usage walls

CodeMeaningRemedy
free_pool_exhaustedThe free daily allowance is spent for today. Free-tier requests draw from a small daily pool that resets each day.Wait for the daily reset, or subscribe for a weekly included allowance.
subscription_requiredThe operation bills against Usage Credits, and credits are a subscriber-only lane.Subscribe (credits then work as overflow), or route the call to a Private AI model on your own computer.
plan_allowance_exhaustedThe subscription's included usage allowance is spent for the current window.Enable pay-as-you-go overflow to draw on your Credit balance, wait for the window to roll, or upgrade the plan.
premium_allowance_exhaustedThe weekly sub-budget for premium-band models is spent; standard models still have allowance.Switch to a standard model, enable pay-as-you-go overflow, or upgrade.
computer_allowance_exhaustedThe weekly cloud-computer compute sub-budget is spent; running computers now draw Usage Credits.Add Credits to keep computers running, or upgrade for more compute.
credits_exhaustedPay-as-you-go overflow is on, but the Credit balance is empty.Add Credits, or turn on Auto Top-Up.
overflow_cap_reachedThe optional monthly cap you set on pay-as-you-go overflow has been reached.Raise or remove the cap in billing settings.
credit_spend_limit_exceededThe API key's own USD spend cap (lifetime, monthly, or daily) is exhausted. The account may still have budget; this key does not.Raise the key's cap, mint a new key, or wait for the key's window to roll.
team_seat_capThe team has no free seats for this action.A team billing admin adds seats.
team_budgetThe team's spending budget for the period is exhausted.A team billing admin raises the budget.

Capacity walls

CodeMeaningRemedy
storage_fullDrive storage has reached the plan's cap.Delete or move files, or upgrade: caps are per plan (Free 1 GB up to 1 TB on Max). Credits never lift a capacity wall.
max_workspacesThe plan's workspace count limit is reached.Delete an unused workspace or upgrade the plan.
max_membersThe workspace is at its member limit for the plan.Remove a member or upgrade the plan.
max_connectionsThe plan's provider-endpoint limit is reached.Remove an unused connection or upgrade the plan.
max_concurrent_runsToo many agent runs are in flight at once for the plan.Wait for a run to finish or upgrade the plan.
memory_fullThe agent's memory store is at its size cap.Prune memory entries or upgrade the plan.
max_computersThe plan's computer count limit is reached.Remove a computer or upgrade the plan.
max_computer_storageCloud-computer disk allocation is at the plan cap.Shrink or delete volumes, or upgrade the plan.

Handling walls in code

Wall errors arrive with HTTP 402 or 429 and a JSON body carrying the code above. Retrying without changing anything will not clear a wall: switch models, enable overflow, raise the key cap, or upgrade, per the remedy column. Transient errors (5xx, timeouts) are separate and safe to retry with backoff.
