- **Where:** HTTP 402, and nothing started
- **Charged:** No
- **Worth retrying:** No. Someone has to change the key or the account.

## What happened

The balance is below this generation's price. The error carries `credits` (the price) and `balance`. Only paid credits buy models directly: bonus credits are for scenes.

## What to do

Top up at the link in `top_up_url`. An agent should send the person there and never top up on its own.

## What it looks like

The real `message` and `hint` name the details of your request, such as the field and the values that work.
