          description: Refused. The organization behind the client ID has searched far beyond its monthly Brand Search allowance, the client ID went over its throughput limit of 6,000 requests per 5 minutes, or the per-IP throughput limit of 200 requests per 5 minutes was exceeded. All three carry a JSON body with a `message`. The first two also carry `x-bf-error` naming the reason (`quota_exceeded` or `rate_limited`), the same code in `error`, and a `docs` link; the allowance refusal lifts when the allowance is raised or the billing period rolls over, the client ID throughput refusal once the rate falls back under the limit. The per-IP refusal carries neither the header nor `error`. See [rate limits](/brand-search-api/overview#rate-limits).
          headers:
            x-bf-error:
