Ironfang Finance API problem type

quota_exhausted

Quota exhausted. HTTP 429.

What it means

An allowance or limit of the organisation is used up: the plan's operations for the period (including work reserved by unfinished jobs), its destinations, or its queue of unfinished jobs. No overage is charged.

What to do

Wait for the period to reset, let queued work finish or cancel it, remove what is no longer needed, or move to a larger plan.

outcome
Absent. This code is not a statement about any document.

Problems follow RFC 9457 and are served as application/problem+json. A validation finding is never a Problem: an invalid invoice is a successful response that lists its findings. See every problem type, the Finance guide and the OpenAPI contract.
