| **HTTP status**    | `402 Payment Required` (reserved) |
| **Error code**     | `payment_past_due`                |
| **Resolve action** | `update_payment_method`           |

## What it means

This code is reserved for a subscription whose latest payment is past due. A past-due payment does not interrupt API access: requests keep being served while the payment is retried. If the payment is never collected, the subscription becomes delinquent and requests return [`payment_delinquent`](/errors/payment_delinquent) instead, so handle that code rather than this one.

## How to fix

Update the payment method on your <BillingLink>organization's billing page</BillingLink> before the retries run out. Once a payment succeeds, nothing else is needed.
