HTTP 429Plan quota exhausted for this billing period

quota_exhausted

The workspace's monthly allowance for a metered feature — like api_requests — is used up for this billing period. Retrying is pointless until the period resets or the plan is upgraded; that's why it's a distinct code from rate_limited.

This page is where the problem type URI https://usepostify.com/docs/api/problems/quota-exhausted resolves.

Common causes

  • The monthly API request allowance (1,000–250,000 depending on plan) is consumed.
  • A runaway job burned the allowance early in the period.

How to fix

  • Check GET /v1/usage for per-meter used/limit/reset — it's cheap and won't itself be blocked by post quotas.
  • Upgrade the plan for a bigger monthly allowance.
  • Back off until the period resets — do NOT retry-loop on this code.
