## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid request; details.issues lists each problem as {path, message}
- `401`: Missing or invalid key
- `402`: Insufficient credits, spending limit reached, or the project is frozen
- `403`: Insufficient scope, a phone this key can't use, a browser request, or a setup request that was declined
- `404`: Not found
- `409`: Conflict: the phone's status doesn't allow this, a phone limit is reached, the Idempotency-Key was used with another body, another install is still running on the phone, a newer version of the app is on the phone, an upload that isn't ready, the project's upload storage is full, the clipboard can't be read, a recording is already running or isn't ready, the project keeps 20 recordings, a setup request that expired or already delivered its key, the project has 50 active keys
- `413`: Body too large
- `422`: The request can't be applied, such as an app that isn't in Phonebox's app library, a file that isn't an APK, an install the phone refused, or a feature this phone doesn't offer (feature_unavailable)
- `429`: Rate limited
- `500`: Unexpected server error; keep the request ID
- `502`: The phone service returned an error, or didn't confirm the action
- `503`: No capacity, the phone is briefly unavailable, Phonebox is paused, or payments aren't connected. A batch refused with this error body did nothing on the phone; a 502 or 504 without it, from a proxy or the platform, leaves the outcome unknown.
- `504`: The phone didn't respond in time
