## Other responses

- `400`: **Bad Request:** The request sent to the server is invalid. Request parameters are missing, incorrect, or in the wrong format.
- `401`: **Unauthorized:** The provided API key is invalid or absent. Provided in the request API key is not valid or is missing.
- `402`: **Payment Required:** Not enough credits to perform this request. The plan allows this call but the credit balance does not cover it. Top up credits and retry. Amounts are in milli-credits (1 credit = 1000).
- `403`: **Forbidden:** Access to this resource is not allowed. User does not have permission to access this feature.
- `404`: **Not Found:** Requested resource could not be found on the server. Specific resource with the provided ID cannot be found.
- `412`: **Inactive Subscription:** The user's subscription is not currently active. User subscription has expired or is otherwise inactive.
- `426`: **Quota Reached:** The user's subscription limit has been reached. User has exceeded their monthly limit for unique channels or total requests. For higher limits please contact us via Telegram [@telemetrio_contact](https://t.me/telemetrio_contact) or write to contact@telemetr.io.
- `429`: **Too Many Requests:** The request rate limit has been reached. Retry after the interval indicated by the response headers.
- `503`: **Service Unavailable:** Credit accounting is temporarily unreachable. The request was refused rather than served without being billed. This is transient — retry with backoff. Carries the standard message envelope, with a constant message: the underlying failure is ours and its text names internal machinery, so it is never forwarded.
