## Other responses

- `400` — Invalid input
- `401` — Unauthenticated
- `402` — Payment required. Fixed-price direct MPP requests return a Machine Payments Protocol problem document and a WWW-Authenticate challenge. Authenticated X data requests return balances and explicit Stripe checkout-creation actions. Guest paid-read keys receive only the accountless guest top-up action. Direct MPP challenges also advertise the Stripe wallet action. Other authenticated endpoints return a legacy error shape. A failed request never creates checkout. Create checkout only after the user confirms a payment option.
- `404` — User not found
- `424` — Dependency unavailable, unauthorized, or rate limited. Default v1 returns 502. The best-practice response contract returns 424 for transparent dependency failures.
- `429` — Xquik tier rate limit exceeded. The response includes a `Retry-After` header with the number of seconds to wait before retrying.
- `502` — Dependency unavailable, unauthorized, or rate limited. Default v1 returns 502. The best-practice response contract returns 424 for transparent dependency failures.
