      description: >-
        Error identifier. For domain rejections and transport errors
        (`401`/`404`/`429`/`500`) this is a stable, machine-readable snake_case
        identifier that is part of the API contract and safe to branch on, e.g.
        `insufficient_margin`, `insufficient_balance`, `order_not_found`,
        `reduce_only_invalid`, `price_outside_bounds`, `position_not_found`,
        `position_exists`, `open_orders_exist`, `invalid_margin_mode`,
        `invalid_margin_amount`, `margin_below_required_initial`,
        `account_liquidating`, `instrument_close_only`, `instrument_settled`,
        `settlement_price_unavailable`, `settlement_insurance_insufficient`,
        `settlement_invalid_state`, `unauthorized`, `not_found`.
        `instrument_close_only` means user orders must reduce an existing
        position; `instrument_settled` is permanent. Settlement readiness errors
        leave the instrument and accounts unchanged. For `400` it is a
        human-readable validation detail whose wording may change. See the Error
        handling guide for the domain identifiers. (Post-only / Fill-or-Kill
        outcomes are order statuses such as `post_only_rejected`, not
        rejections.)

        action rate), or `open_orders_limit` (resting open-order cap).

            conservative estimate of when enough capacity will have refilled to

            admit the request. Absent on `open_orders_limit`, which is a
            capacity

            limit, not a rate limit — waiting does not free order slots; cancel

            resting orders or wait for fills instead.
