      description: >-
        Error identifier. For domain rejections and transport errors
        (`401`/`404`/`429`/`500`) this is a stable, machine-readable snake_case
        identifier that is part of the API contract and safe to branch on, e.g.
        `insufficient_margin`, `insufficient_balance`, `order_not_found`,
        `reduce_only_invalid`, `price_outside_bounds`, `position_not_found`,
        `position_exists`, `open_orders_exist`, `invalid_margin_mode`,
        `invalid_margin_amount`, `margin_below_required_initial`,
        `account_liquidating`, `instrument_close_only`, `instrument_settled`,
        `settlement_price_unavailable`, `settlement_insurance_insufficient`,
        `settlement_invalid_state`, `unauthorized`, `not_found`.
        `instrument_close_only` means user orders must reduce an existing
        position; `instrument_settled` is permanent. Settlement readiness errors
        leave the instrument and accounts unchanged. For `400` it is a
        human-readable validation detail whose wording may change. See the Error
        handling guide for the domain identifiers. (Post-only / Fill-or-Kill
        outcomes are order statuses such as `post_only_rejected`, not
        rejections.)

        Bad request — the request was malformed or failed validation (bad query
        parameters, unparseable body, invalid signature, or a domain pre-check).

        Request Timeout — the request body was not delivered within the

      description: >
        Too Many Requests. `error` distinguishes the limit that was hit:

        `ip_rate_limited` (per-IP token bucket), `action_rate_limited`
        (per-account

        action rate), or `open_orders_limit` (resting open-order cap).

        Retry-After:
          description: >
            Whole seconds to wait before retrying. Present only on token-bucket

            rate-limit rejections (`ip_rate_limited` and `action_rate_limited`);
            a

            conservative estimate of when enough capacity will have refilled to

            admit the request. Absent on `open_orders_limit`, which is a
            capacity

            limit, not a rate limit — waiting does not free order slots; cancel

            resting orders or wait for fills instead.

        application/json:
          schema:
            $ref: '#/components/schemas/Error500'
    Error503Response:
      description: |
        Service unavailable — safe to retry with backoff, honoring
        `Retry-After` when present. `error` is
        `service_unavailable`.

        Most causes are a request deliberately shed before it reached the
        engine, so the request definitely did not execute: the replica's
        pod-level in-flight cap (shed before dispatch, with `Retry-After`), a
        database read shed as backpressure under overload (by the local read
        gate or by the database server's concurrency cap — the query never
        executed), a required internal cache that is stale or not yet primed
        and would return wrong data, or a full bounded deferred-write queue.

        On a subset of order/state-mutating routes, this status is also
        returned when the engine round-trip itself times out with zero
        responses observed. That is retryable engine backpressure, but —
        unlike the sheds above — it does not prove non-execution: the command
        may already have been admitted, with its response simply not reaching
        the gateway before the deadline. This status is only used for that
        case on routes that are safe to retry regardless (idempotent
        state-setting, or an engine-side replay guard); routes where a bare
        retry cannot safely resolve the ambiguity keep the outcome a
        non-retryable 500 instead.
      headers:
        Retry-After:
          description: |
            Whole seconds to wait before retrying. Present on pre-dispatch
            in-flight-cap sheds — a transient overload signal, so the hint is
            short and constant.
