    PaymentRequired:
      description: 'Subscription missing, credits exhausted, or the page this request would deliver costs more than the balance has left.


        * `subscription_required`: no active paid plan or trial behind this key.

        * `credits_exhausted`: the balance cannot cover even one record and this response would have billed at least one. Re-reads of unchanged records you already own bill 0 and are still served at 0 balance. Paid balances refill on the 1st; trial credits never do.

        * `insufficient_credits`: the balance has credits left, but fewer than this page would cost. A page is delivered whole or refused whole, never trimmed, so **no records are returned and nothing is charged**. `details.quote` states the page''s cost, what remains, `affordableRecordCount` (the `limit` to retry with), and a free `countUrl` that re-prices the whole match set. Free-trial pages are truncated instead of refused here; see `meta.trialTruncation`.

        * `enrichment_requires_paid_plan`: `include=contacts` (Find Contact Info) needs a paid plan or a live trial. Record credits may still remain. Drop the parameter, start a trial, or upgrade.'
