Troubleshooting: Management API
Last updated 29 October 2026
Look up the answer the Management API gave when it refused to create, change or delete a stream: why, whether to send it again, and what to do.
| Answer | When | Send again | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
409 | Another live stream of the account holds the name, or the Idempotency-Key was used for another creation. | No | Pick another name, or a new Idempotency-Key. |
422 | The name, the content type or expires_at breaks its rule; the answer names the field. | No | See Create a stream. |
403 | The account already holds as many streams as it may, or the key is narrowed. | No | Delete streams you no longer need, or ask for more (see Limits); create with a key that is not narrowed. |
402 | The account’s balance is zero. | After a top-up | Add credit on Usage & billing. |
503 | The region is not open for streams. | No | Create the stream in another region (see Regions and URLs). |
