Subscription exists

subscription_exists

This account already has a subscription, so a new checkout would start a second one, billed separately.

What this means​

A checkout was started for an account that is already subscribed or in its trial.

How to fix it​

Change the plan, spherelets or storage on the account's billing page instead.

Retry behavior​

Do not retry: the answer will not change while the subscription is live.

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.

The Content-Type header is application/problem+json. On field-level validation errors a non-empty errors[] array also appears, each entry carrying its own docs_url for the offending field.
