## When it happens

The request uses a live API key, but the account does not have live mode available yet.

## How to fix it

Activate live mode for the account, or keep using a test key until then.

## Retry

Not as is: the same request fails the same way. Fix the cause described above, then send the request again, under a new `Idempotency-Key` if the body changed.

## Example response
