## Other responses

- `400`: Bad request — missing or invalid parameters.
- `401`: Missing Bearer token.
- `402`: Your account balance does not cover this call, so nothing was charged and the request was not served. The response body is {"error":"Insufficient credits","top_up_url":"https://www.redditapis.com/dashboard/buy-credits","message":"..."}; error keeps that exact wording. This is a billing state, not a bad request: the same call succeeds once the balance is topped up, and retrying without topping up returns 402 again, which is why it carries Retry-After: 3600. Top up at the top_up_url, then call again at once; the header does not apply after a top-up. Read the remaining balance any time from GET /account/me, which is free and never returns this error. Distinct from the 402 on the monitoring endpoints, which is about plan entitlements rather than credits.
- `403`: Invalid Bearer token.
- `429`: Rate limit exceeded.
- `500`: Unexpected server error.
