Output returned by the API: HTTP 402

API Troubleshooting

Hi,

Here are the details for the issue:

  1. Standalone code to reproduce:

curl -sS -o output.png “https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit?imageUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.folhoffer.eu%2Fimages%2Fproducts%2Fgross%2F119404_5007_baumwollstoff_vichy_karo.jpg&removeBackground=false”
-H “x-api-key: [REDACTED – can share privately if needed]”

  1. Original input image:
    https://www.folhoffer.eu/images/products/gross/119404_5007_baumwollstoff_vichy_karo.jpg

  2. Output returned by the API:
    HTTP 402
    {“error”:{“message”:"You have exhausted the number of images in your plan.

  3. Expected result:
    A successful response returning the edited image (in this case just the original image passed through with removeBackground=false), the same as it worked for earlier calls in the same session.

Context: this API key was provided through the Claude (Anthropic) MCP connector for Photoroom, linked to my Photoroom Max plan account. My account dashboard (Space usage) shows only 1% AI credits used and 18/3000 exports used, renewing Aug 22, 8:30 PM — so there should be quota left. The 402 error started appearing mid-session yesterday and has persisted since, on every call, regardless of endpoint or parameters used.

Could you check whether this API key draws from a separate quota than the one shown on my account dashboard, and if so, when it resets?

Thanks.
