The `limit_exceeded` [Problem](/evidence/errors) means: the call is over a [Limit](/callers/keys#checks), so it was refused before it ran.

## Answer
| Status | Title |
| --- | --- |
| 403 | Forbidden |

```json
{
  "type": "about:blank",
  "title": "Forbidden",
  "status": 403,
  "detail": "What went wrong, in words.",
  "code": "limit_exceeded"
}
```

## Fix
When the Problem names an Approval, ask for it to raise the Limit; the refused call costs nothing.
