Check your request parameters against the endpoint docs |
| 401 | Unauthorized | API key is missing, invalid, or deactivated | Verify your API key is correct and active |
| 402 | Payment Required | Not enough TTS or studio credits for this request | Purchase more credits from your dashboard |

Verify the ID is correct and belongs to your account |
| 429 | Too Many Requests | Either the per-minute rate cap for your API key was exceeded (30 RPM default / 100 RPM for channel-info / 60 RPM for status), or your tier's concurrent-job cap was reached (8 Starter / 20 Professional / 40 Ultimate; image generations have their own bucket of 10 / 25 / 50). The error message tells you which. |
Rate cap: back off for the seconds named in the error. Concurrent jobs: wait for one to finish. |
