Error Handling

LumeGates uses standard HTTP status codes. If an error occurs, the response body will typically include a JSON object explaining the reason.

🚀 Common Errors

Status	Meaning	Action
401	Invalid API Key	Check your Bearer token and headers.
402	Insufficient Balance	Your balance is empty. Please top up in the Dashboard.
404	Model Not Found	The requested model ID is incorrect or not supported.
429	Rate Limit Reached	You’ve sent requests too quickly. Please slow down.
5xx	Server/Upstream Error	All upstream channels are busy. The system is auto-switching. Try again in 10s.

This is the most frequent error. LumeGates requires a minimum balance to initiate requests for high-tier models (like GPT-4o or Claude 3.5).

To ensure stability for all users, we enforce Requests Per Minute (RPM) limits.

Fix: Implement a retry logic with exponential backoff or reduce your concurrency.

Since LumeGates is a model aggregator, a 503 or 504 error usually means the specific upstream provider is timing out.

Our Response: Our system monitors these errors in real-time and will automatically route your next request to a healthy alternative channel.
