# account_locked

HTTP 402 · Account state (SPEC §3.3)

Payment failed, so this project is read-only. Update the card in billing to restore writes.

## Does retrying help?

Not until something else changes. The message says what: a plan, an add-on, a setting or a role. The same request then works.

## The response

Every Flatstack error has this shape. `details`, when present, says more about this case.
