402 payment. The project's plan does not include API access right now.

| HTTP status | `type`    | Surfaces      |
| ----------- | --------- | ------------- |
| 402         | `payment` | REST, GraphQL |

## What it means

The project's plan does not include API access right now.

| When                                   | What the `hint` tells you            |
| -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ |
| the project has no active subscription | check the plan on Settings > Billing |

## What to do

The project owner has to renew or upgrade the plan. Nothing in the request can change this.

## On GraphQL

`/api/graphql` answers the same `code` inside `errors[].extensions`. The status depends on the `Accept` header you send ([status codes](https://capacms.com/docs/api/graphql#status-codes)):

| `application/json` | `graphql-response+json` | When                                    |
| ------------------ | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| 402                | 402                     | the project's plan does not allow reads |
