Error format

Every error uses the same JSON envelope:

{
  "error": {
    "code": "plan_quota_exhausted",
    "message": "Studio daily quota used up",
    "plan": "studio",
    "details": { "kind": "image", "limit": 45, "used": 45, "resets_at": "2026-10-04T00:00:00Z" }
  }
}

code is stable and meant for your code. message is for people and may change.
plan is "studio", "credits" or null. Every error about a plan group names the group.
details depends on the code; it is always an object.

Retries

429 and 5xx are safe to retry with the same Idempotency-Key; wait for Retry-After seconds when the header is present.
4xx other than 429 will not succeed on a retry without a change on your side.
