Screenshot API error · HTTP 429

Overage limit reached

overage_quota_exceeded

Your plan’s requests are used, and so are the extra (overage) requests up to the maximum you set for this month.

How to recognize it

The API answers with status 429 and a JSON body with the message and the error.code overage_quota_exceeded, for example:

HTTP/1.1 429
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "error": {
    "code": "overage_quota_exceeded",
    "message": "You used all your overage requests. Please upgrade your plan or increase your overage maximum amount at https://app.screenshotbase.com/subscription"
  },
  "message": "You used all your overage requests. Please upgrade your plan or increase your overage maximum amount at https://app.screenshotbase.com/subscription"
}

How to fix it

Raise the overage maximum or upgrade the plan in the dashboard.

Retry

After the quota resets at quota.resets_at, or right after the change.
