# email_quota_exceeded

HTTP 429 · Usage limits (SPEC §3.5)

This account sent its monthly emails, so this one wasn't sent. Sign-in and password emails still send; others can send again when the period resets, or after you buy an email pack.

## Does retrying help?

Yes, after waiting. Send the same request again once the wait in the message has passed (the `Retry-After` header says how long, when there is one).

## The response

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