## Other responses

- `404`: No such resource (or not owned by this account)
- `429`: Rate limited. Read Retry-After (header) or error.retry_after_seconds (body) — they carry the same number — and wait that long. Retrying sooner extends the window rather than shortening it.
- `500`: Unexpected failure on our side. Retry once; nothing was charged.
