spending_cap_exceeded

HTTP 403   title: Spending cap exceeded

What it means

The acting assistant has a per-assistant spending cap configured, and this pay would push its settled total past it. Rejected before charging — no money moved. A cap of 0 disables that assistant’s payments entirely.

What to do next

The assistant cannot raise its own cap; that is the human’s. Report the refusal and let the human raise it (the reference implementation exposes it on the manage-assistants page). Caps are operator policy and off by default.
