**Example:**
```json
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "QUOTA_EXCEEDED",
"message": "Monthly API quota exceeded",
"details": {
"quota": 10000,
"used": 10000,

```
**Not emitted today.** `QUOTA_EXCEEDED` is a registered member of the standard
error-code catalog (`StandardErrorCode`, `packages/spec/src/api/errors.zod.ts`),
but no ObjectStack producer emits it. No response carries this code, and none
carries a quota `details` bag — do not write a client branch against it.

**How to fix:**
- Wait for quota reset
- Upgrade to higher plan
- Optimize API usage
Quota enforcement that does exist answers with its own code rather than this one
(the SMS daily quota answers `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS`). For request pacing, the code
on the wire is `RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` above, whose `Retry-After` header and
`retryAfterSeconds` / `resetAt` details are what a client acts on.
