Credential limit reached

credential_limit_reached

The database already has two credentials.

What this means​

A database has at most two credentials at a time: the one your services use and the one replacing it.

How to fix it​

Retire the credential you no longer use, then create a new one.

Retry behavior​

Retry after a credential has been retired.

How it appears in the response​

ComputeSphere returns errors as RFC 7807 Problem Details. The type field is the docs URL for this page — switch on code in your client.
