# agent_budget_exceeded

> This would raise spend beyond the agent token's daily budget. The change would raise spend by more than the agent token's daily budget allows.

**This would raise spend beyond the agent token's daily budget.** The change would raise spend by more than the agent token's daily budget allows. Budgets stop an agent scaling costs up without a human noticing.

- **HTTP status:** `403 Forbidden`
- **CLI exit code:** `4` (approval required)
- **Retry:** not as it is; the same request will fail the same way until the cause is fixed

## How to fix it

An approval request was opened at {approval_url}; wait for it or lower the change.

Words in `{braces}` are filled in from the error response, which names the exact resource.

## What the response looks like

```json
{
  "type": "https://guv.dev/errors/agent_budget_exceeded",
  "title": "This would raise spend beyond the agent token's daily budget",
  "status": 403,
  "code": "agent_budget_exceeded",
  "detail": "The change would raise spend by more than the agent token's daily budget allows.",
  "fix": "An approval request was opened at {approval_url}; wait for it or lower the change.",
  "docs_url": "https://guv.dev/errors/agent_budget_exceeded",
  "request_id": "req_01jbx2m9k7q4r8t5v6w3y0z1rq"
}
```

The `code` field is stable: match on it, not on `title` or `detail`, which may be reworded.
