# 429 assessment_budget_exhausted

> A new assessment would exceed the current period's allowance or your hard budget.

HTTP 429Retry after Retry-After

## Why

An exhausted allowance differs from a request rate limit. The refused assessment does not spend another usage unit.

## What to do

Check your billing period and hard budget. Resume after the allowance renews or an authorized member changes the applicable budget.

This error is temporary. A retry with the same `Idempotency-Key` is safe.

## In the SDKs

The Node and Python SDKs raise `RateLimitError`. The Go SDK returns `*apierrors.RateLimitError`, which you match with `errors.As`.
