## Other responses

- `400`: A bad parameter or body; the message says which.
- `401`: An invalid key, no key where one is needed (buckets, webhooks, /account_info), a locked account or expired plan, or both the month's requests and the keyless rate used up. Kept as 401, with this message, for v3 compatibility.
- `404`: Unknown network, or not an address on it.
- `429`: Without a key, past the day's 2,500 lookups from this IP while SoChain is busy (Retry-After: 60), or past the day's most (Retry-After: seconds to 00:00 UTC). With or without one, too many requests in flight at once (Retry-After: 1, not counted).
- `503`: Briefly unavailable; retry with backoff. May carry Retry-After.
