| Anthropic `type` | `api_error` |
| Retry | Yes. Error responses carry `x-should-retry: true`. |

## What it means

An enforcing policy couldn't be checked in time, so Antara refused rather than let the request through. Not billed.

## What to do

Retry. See [Policies](https://docs.antarah.dev/guides/policies.md).
