# API error code 402 - You exceeded your current quota

A `402` error with the message `You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details` means your organization has used up its Inference allowance or reached its spending cap. This article explains why the error occurs and how to restore access to Serverless Inference.

## Why this happens

Each Forge plan includes an Inference allowance and a default spending cap. This error occurs in the following cases:

* Your organization has used up its included Inference allowance and pay-as-you-go isn't active. This applies to Free and Academic plans.
* Your organization has reached its spending cap.

## Restore access

To restore access to Serverless Inference, do any of the following:

* **Check your allowance and usage.** Open the Billing page for your organization in Forge to see the allowance available and your usage against it.
* **Activate pay-as-you-go or upgrade your plan.** On Free and Academic plans, in the **Pay-as-you-go** panel of the Billing page, activate pay-as-you-go for Inference, or upgrade your plan. See [Activate pay-as-you-go](https://docs.coreweave.com/products/inference/serverless/usage-limits.md#activate-pay-as-you-go).
* **Raise your spending cap.** If your organization has reached its spending cap, contact your account executive or [Support](mailto:forge-support@coreweave.com).
