Venice errors & retries

Every Venice endpoint returns one of four error shapes. Knowing which shape you got tells you how to react.

Error body shapes

1. `StandardError` — simple message

The default shape for 4xx/5xx. Emitted when there's nothing structured to surface.

{ "error": "Unauthorized" }

2. `DetailedError` — Zod validation failure

Used for some 400 responses on malformed request bodies. When present, details is a Zod format() tree (_errors recursively keyed by field) alongside a flat issues array. Many 400s are plain StandardError without details — always handle both.

{
  "error": "Invalid request",
  "details": {
    "_errors": [],
    "messages": { "_errors": ["Field is required"] }
  },
  "issues": [
    { "code": "invalid_type", "path": ["messages"], "message": "Field is required" }
  ]
}

Render details / issues to the user so they can fix the input; don't retry — the request shape is wrong.

3. `ContentViolationError` — 422 content policy

Returned when a prompt trips content policy. suggested_prompt (a model-provided safe alternative) is currently emitted by the audio generation pipeline (/audio/queue, /audio/retrieve); image and video endpoints return { error: "Content policy violation" } without suggested_prompt.

{
  "error": "Content policy violation",
  "suggested_prompt": "A cinematic instrumental track inspired by stormy weather and dramatic tension."
}

Pattern — when suggested_prompt is present, retry once with prompt = suggested_prompt if the user consents.

4. `X402InferencePaymentRequired` — 402 on x402 inference calls

Returned only when the caller authenticated with SIWX and has insufficient credit. Discriminated by code: "PAYMENT_REQUIRED".

{
  "error": "Payment required",
  "code": "PAYMENT_REQUIRED",
  "message": "Insufficient x402 balance",
  "suggestedTopUpUsd": 10,
  "minimumTopUpUsd": 5,
  "supportedTokens": ["USDC"],
  "supportedChains": ["base", "solana"],
  "topUpInstructions": {
    "step1": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with no payment header to get payment requirements",
    "step2": "Choose a payment option from accepts and sign a USDC transfer authorization using the x402 SDK (createPaymentHeader)",
    "step3": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with the signed X-402-Payment header",
    "receiverWallet": "<RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenAddress": "<USDC_TOKEN_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenDecimals": 6,
    "network": "eip155:8453",
    "minimumAmountUsd": 5
  },
  "siwxChallenge": { ... SIWX template + supportedChains ... }
}

topUpInstructions describes the Base rail only, even when supportedChains includes Solana. Read accepts[] from POST /x402/top-up to pay on Solana.

The PAYMENT-REQUIRED response header carries a base64-encoded x402 v2 paymentRequired object (x402Version, error, resource, accepts[], optional extensions) — it is not the same JSON as the body. Protocol-level clients parse the header; human-facing clients parse the richer body. See venice-x402.

Status code map

Status	Body	Meaning	What to do
`400 Bad Request`	`DetailedError`	Malformed input. Zod `details` identifies the field.	Fix and re-send. Don't retry.
`401 Unauthorized`	`StandardError`	Missing / invalid Bearer API key or SIWE.	Rotate credentials. Don't retry.
`402 Payment Required`	Bearer: `StandardError` with the configured message (e.g. `{ "error": "Insufficient balance" }` — the handler's default path does not attach a `code` field). SIWE: `X402InferencePaymentRequired` + `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header.	Out of DIEM/USD/wallet credit.	Bearer: top up at venice.ai. SIWE: run the x402 top-up flow.
`403 Forbidden`	`StandardError`	Valid auth but not entitled. Typical: trial-limited endpoint, beta model, API-key consumption cap hit, SIWE signer ≠ path wallet.	Don't retry. Investigate entitlements.
`415 Unsupported Media Type`	`StandardError`	Wrong `Content-Type` (e.g. JSON sent to a multipart endpoint, or vice versa).	Fix headers. Don't retry.
`422 Unprocessable Entity`	`ContentViolationError` on image/audio/video generation; plain `{ error }` on other routes (e.g. ASR validation errors).	Content policy violation on generation paths; schema-ish validation on others.	On audio generation, optionally retry once with `suggested_prompt`. On others, fix input.
`429 Too Many Requests`	`StandardError`	Rate limit cap tripped. Also returned by `/crypto/rpc/{network}` when credit-per-day or concurrency cap tripped.	Honor `X-RateLimit-*` headers, back off with jitter.
`500 Internal Server Error`	`StandardError`	Unexpected failure.	Retry with exponential backoff + idempotency key where supported.

Rate-limit headers (`429`)

Emitted on /crypto/rpc/{network}:

Header	Meaning
`X-RateLimit-Limit`	Per-minute request cap for your tier (paid = 100, staff = 1000 on crypto RPC).
`X-RateLimit-Remaining`	Requests remaining in the current 60-second window.
`X-RateLimit-Reset`	Unix timestamp in seconds when the window resets.

Additionally, LlmInferenceError model-overloaded conditions set a Retry-After header (seconds) on the 429 — honor it when present.

Inference endpoints (chat, image, audio, video) use a per-API-key tier defined via /api_keys/rate_limits. See venice-api-keys to pre-fetch your caps, and venice-billing for DIEM/USD usage.

Response headers on `402` (x402)

Header	Notes
`PAYMENT-REQUIRED`	Base64-encoded JSON of the x402 v2 `paymentRequired` object (`x402Version`, `error`, `resource`, `accepts[]`, optional `extensions['sign-in-with-x']`). Protocol-level discovery — parse even if you don't parse the JSON body.

Retry strategy

Never retry

400 — bad input. Fix the request.
401 — bad auth. Fix credentials.
403 — not entitled. Don't hammer.
415 — wrong Content-Type.

Retry with modification

402 (x402) — run top-up then retry.
402 (Bearer) — surface to user; top up at venice.ai.
422 with suggested_prompt — one retry with the safer prompt.

Retry with backoff

429 — back off for at least X-RateLimit-Reset - now(). Add jitter.
500 / 503 / 504 — exponential backoff (e.g. 0.5s, 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s), capped at ~30s. 3–5 retries max.
Use Idempotency-Key (e.g. on /crypto/rpc/{network}) so retries can't double-bill state-mutating calls.

Reference retry loop

async function callVenice<T>(fn: () => Promise<Response>): Promise<T> {
  const maxRetries = 5
  let delay = 500
  for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= maxRetries; attempt++) {
    const res = await fn()
    if (res.ok) return res.json() as Promise<T>

    const body = await res.clone().json().catch(() => ({}))
    const { status } = res

    if ([400, 401, 403, 415].includes(status)) {
      throw Object.assign(new Error(body.error ?? 'Venice error'), { status, body })
    }

    if (status === 402 && body.code === 'PAYMENT_REQUIRED') {
      await topUpX402(body.suggestedTopUpUsd)
      continue
    }

    if (status === 422) {
      throw Object.assign(new Error('Content policy'), { status, body })
    }

    if (status === 429) {
      const retryAfterSec = Number(res.headers.get('retry-after'))
      const resetSec = Number(res.headers.get('x-ratelimit-reset'))
      const waitMs = !Number.isNaN(retryAfterSec) && retryAfterSec > 0
        ? retryAfterSec * 1000
        : !Number.isNaN(resetSec) && resetSec > 0
          ? Math.max(resetSec * 1000 - Date.now(), delay)
          : delay
      await sleep(waitMs + Math.random() * 250)
      delay *= 2
      continue
    }

    if (status >= 500 && attempt < maxRetries) {
      await sleep(delay + Math.random() * 250)
      delay *= 2
      continue
    }

    throw Object.assign(new Error(body.error ?? 'Venice error'), { status, body })
  }
  throw new Error('Exceeded max retries')
}

Streaming errors

Streaming responses (stream: true on chat, TTS, video-queue progress) deliver mid-stream errors as SSE events:

data: {"error": {"type": "…", "message": "…"}}

Treat them as terminal — the underlying connection is closed. The HTTP status is 200 because a successful stream can't be changed mid-flight.

Request-ID correlation

When present on a response, keep the X-Request-ID header. Include it in support tickets — Venice keys diagnostic logs by this ID. /crypto/rpc/* routes set it explicitly; many inference routes also include it, but don't assume it's universal — fall back to your own client-side correlation ID.

Common gotchas

A 402 from /x402/top-up with no PAYMENT-SIGNATURE header is the expected discovery response, not an error. See venice-x402.
A 500 on /chat/completions with a huge file upload often means the upstream model chose to abort — reduce max_tokens / image size rather than blindly retrying.
429 on /crypto/rpc/{network} may mean the 24-hour credit cap tripped, not the per-minute one. Check customMessage.
DetailedError.details is a Zod _errors tree, not a flat map. Walk it recursively.
Some endpoints (image generation) echo X-Rate-Limit variants — treat any header whose name starts with X-RateLimit as advisory.
Don't treat an empty stream chunk as an error — send-keepalives look like data: [DONE] or empty lines.

# Venice errors & retries

Every Venice endpoint returns one of four error shapes. Knowing which shape you got tells you how to react.

## Error body shapes

### 1. `StandardError` — simple message

The default shape for 4xx/5xx. Emitted when there's nothing structured to surface.

```json
{ "error": "Unauthorized" }
```

### 2. `DetailedError` — Zod validation failure

Used for some `400` responses on malformed request bodies. When present, `details` is a Zod `format()` tree (`_errors` recursively keyed by field) alongside a flat `issues` array. Many `400`s are plain `StandardError` without `details` — always handle both.

```json
{
  "error": "Invalid request",
  "details": {
    "_errors": [],
    "messages": { "_errors": ["Field is required"] }
  },
  "issues": [
    { "code": "invalid_type", "path": ["messages"], "message": "Field is required" }
  ]
}
```

Render `details` / `issues` to the user so they can fix the input; don't retry — the request shape is wrong.

### 3. `ContentViolationError` — 422 content policy

Returned when a prompt trips content policy. `suggested_prompt` (a model-provided safe alternative) is currently emitted by the **audio** generation pipeline (`/audio/queue`, `/audio/retrieve`); image and video endpoints return `{ error: "Content policy violation" }` without `suggested_prompt`.

```json
{
  "error": "Content policy violation",
  "suggested_prompt": "A cinematic instrumental track inspired by stormy weather and dramatic tension."
}
```

**Pattern** — when `suggested_prompt` is present, retry once with `prompt = suggested_prompt` if the user consents.

### 4. `X402InferencePaymentRequired` — 402 on x402 inference calls

Returned only when the caller authenticated with **SIWX** and has insufficient credit. Discriminated by `code: "PAYMENT_REQUIRED"`.

```json
{
  "error": "Payment required",
  "code": "PAYMENT_REQUIRED",
  "message": "Insufficient x402 balance",
  "suggestedTopUpUsd": 10,
  "minimumTopUpUsd": 5,
  "supportedTokens": ["USDC"],
  "supportedChains": ["base", "solana"],
  "topUpInstructions": {
    "step1": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with no payment header to get payment requirements",
    "step2": "Choose a payment option from accepts and sign a USDC transfer authorization using the x402 SDK (createPaymentHeader)",
    "step3": "POST /api/v1/x402/top-up with the signed X-402-Payment header",
    "receiverWallet": "<RECEIVER_WALLET_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenAddress": "<USDC_TOKEN_ADDRESS>",
    "tokenDecimals": 6,
    "network": "eip155:8453",
    "minimumAmountUsd": 5
  },
  "siwxChallenge": { ... SIWX template + supportedChains ... }
}
```

`topUpInstructions` describes the Base rail only, even when `supportedChains`
includes Solana. Read `accepts[]` from `POST /x402/top-up` to pay on Solana.

The `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` response header carries a base64-encoded x402 v2 `paymentRequired` **object** (`x402Version`, `error`, `resource`, `accepts[]`, optional `extensions`) — it is **not** the same JSON as the body. Protocol-level clients parse the header; human-facing clients parse the richer body. See [`venice-x402`](../venice-x402/SKILL.md).

## Status code map

| Status | Body | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|---|
| `400 Bad Request` | `DetailedError` | Malformed input. Zod `details` identifies the field. | Fix and re-send. **Don't retry.** |
| `401 Unauthorized` | `StandardError` | Missing / invalid Bearer API key or SIWE. | Rotate credentials. **Don't retry.** |
| `402 Payment Required` | Bearer: `StandardError` with the configured message (e.g. `{ "error": "Insufficient balance" }` — the handler's default path does not attach a `code` field). SIWE: `X402InferencePaymentRequired` + `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` header. | Out of DIEM/USD/wallet credit. | Bearer: top up at venice.ai. SIWE: run the x402 top-up flow. |
| `403 Forbidden` | `StandardError` | Valid auth but not entitled. Typical: trial-limited endpoint, beta model, API-key consumption cap hit, SIWE signer ≠ path wallet. | **Don't retry.** Investigate entitlements. |
| `415 Unsupported Media Type` | `StandardError` | Wrong `Content-Type` (e.g. JSON sent to a multipart endpoint, or vice versa). | Fix headers. **Don't retry.** |
| `422 Unprocessable Entity` | `ContentViolationError` on image/audio/video generation; plain `{ error }` on other routes (e.g. ASR validation errors). | Content policy violation on generation paths; schema-ish validation on others. | On audio generation, optionally retry once with `suggested_prompt`. On others, fix input. |
| `429 Too Many Requests` | `StandardError` | Rate limit cap tripped. Also returned by `/crypto/rpc/{network}` when credit-per-day or concurrency cap tripped. | Honor `X-RateLimit-*` headers, back off with jitter. |
| `500 Internal Server Error` | `StandardError` | Unexpected failure. | Retry with exponential backoff + idempotency key where supported. |
| `503 Service Unavailable` | `StandardError` | Upstream model / service temporarily down. | Retry with backoff. Consider a fallback model. |
| `504 Gateway Timeout` | `StandardError` | Upstream slow. Mostly on `/chat/completions` with huge contexts. | Switch to `stream: true` or shorter prompts. |

## Rate-limit headers (`429`)

Emitted on `/crypto/rpc/{network}`:

| Header | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `X-RateLimit-Limit` | Per-minute request cap for your tier (paid = 100, staff = 1000 on crypto RPC). |
| `X-RateLimit-Remaining` | Requests remaining in the current 60-second window. |
| `X-RateLimit-Reset` | Unix timestamp in **seconds** when the window resets. |

Additionally, `LlmInferenceError` model-overloaded conditions set a `Retry-After` header (seconds) on the 429 — honor it when present.

Inference endpoints (chat, image, audio, video) use a per-API-key tier defined via `/api_keys/rate_limits`. See [`venice-api-keys`](../venice-api-keys/SKILL.md) to pre-fetch your caps, and [`venice-billing`](../venice-billing/SKILL.md) for DIEM/USD usage.

## Response headers on `402` (x402)

| Header | Notes |
|---|---|
| `PAYMENT-REQUIRED` | Base64-encoded JSON of the x402 v2 `paymentRequired` object (`x402Version`, `error`, `resource`, `accepts[]`, optional `extensions['sign-in-with-x']`). Protocol-level discovery — parse even if you don't parse the JSON body. |

## Retry strategy

### Never retry

- `400` — bad input. Fix the request.
- `401` — bad auth. Fix credentials.
- `403` — not entitled. Don't hammer.
- `415` — wrong `Content-Type`.

### Retry with modification

- `402` (x402) — run top-up then retry.
- `402` (Bearer) — surface to user; top up at venice.ai.
- `422` with `suggested_prompt` — one retry with the safer prompt.

### Retry with backoff

- `429` — back off for at least `X-RateLimit-Reset - now()`. Add jitter.
- `500` / `503` / `504` — exponential backoff (e.g. 0.5s, 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s), capped at ~30s. **3–5 retries max.**
- Use `Idempotency-Key` (e.g. on `/crypto/rpc/{network}`) so retries can't double-bill state-mutating calls.

    }

    if (status === 429) {

      const resetSec = Number(res.headers.get('x-ratelimit-reset'))
      const waitMs = !Number.isNaN(retryAfterSec) && retryAfterSec > 0
        ? retryAfterSec * 1000
        : !Number.isNaN(resetSec) && resetSec > 0
          ? Math.max(resetSec * 1000 - Date.now(), delay)
          : delay
      await sleep(waitMs + Math.random() * 250)
      delay *= 2
      continue
    }

    if (status >= 500 && attempt < maxRetries) {
      await sleep(delay + Math.random() * 250)
      delay *= 2
      continue
    }

    throw Object.assign(new Error(body.error ?? 'Venice error'), { status, body })
