+| `CSC_CERT_INVALID` | The selected signing certificate is missing, invalid, or outside its validity period (400). | Select or renew a valid certificate, then authenticate again. |
+| `CSC_ALGORITHM_REFUSED` | The signing credential uses an unsupported key or digest algorithm (400). | Select a credential that satisfies the instance's CSC algorithm policy. |
+| `CSC_SAD_EXPIRED_PRE_SIGN` | The signature activation data is missing, expired, or unreadable before signing (400). | Repeat the credential authorization flow. |
+| `CSC_TSP_TIMEOUT` | The trust service provider did not complete the signing request before the timeout (408). | Retry the signing request after checking provider availability. |
+| `CSC_EMBED_FAILED` | The returned CSC signature could not be embedded into the envelope items (400). | Restart the signing attempt. If it fails again, contact support. |
+| `CSC_BASE_DOCUMENT_MUTATED` | The document changed between signature preparation and signing (500). | Restart signing from the current envelope state. |

+### Behavior
+
+- Only documents in `PENDING` status can be cancelled. Other statuses return `400`.
+- Cancellation is not idempotent. Cancelling the same document again returns `400`.
+- The document owner and team members with `MANAGER` or higher permissions can cancel it. Requests for documents you cannot view return `404`; requests for visible documents without sufficient permissions return `401`.
+- A successful cancellation fires the `DOCUMENT_CANCELLED` webhook.
+- Cancellation emails are sent only to eligible non-CC, non-rejected recipients who were sent or opened the document.

+and carry no rate limit headers:

+
+A 429 response from a windowed limiter also includes `Retry-After`, in seconds, with a minimum
+value of `1`. The global API limit uses fixed, epoch-aligned one-minute buckets, so the actual wait
+until the next window is between 1 and 60 seconds. Honor `Retry-After` exactly instead of sleeping
+for a fixed 60 seconds. See the [Retry-After handling example](/docs/developers/examples/common-workflows#error-handling-patterns).

-### Error Response
+### Organisation Limit 429 Responses

-When you exceed a resource limit:
+Organisation windowed limits and organisation monthly quotas produce 429 responses whose body
+shape depends on the API version, and neither matches the global per-IP limiter's
+`{ "error": "..." }` body.
+
+On `/api/v1/*`, the body contains only a message:

 ```json
 {
-  "error": "You have reached your document limit for this month. Please upgrade your plan.",
-  "code": "LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
-  "statusCode": 400
+  "message": "Too many requests, please try again later. Contact support if you require higher limits."
 }
 ```

+On `/api/v2/*` and `/api/v2-beta/*`, the body is a structured error object:
+
+```json
+{
+  "message": "Too many requests, please try again later. Contact support if you require higher limits.",
+  "code": "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS",
+  "data": {
+    "code": "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS",
+    "httpStatus": 429,
+    "appError": {
+      "code": "TOO_MANY_REQUESTS",
+      "message": "Too many requests, please try again later. Contact support if you require higher limits."
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Organisation windowed limit responses include the `X-RateLimit-*` headers and `Retry-After` for
+their own window. Monthly quota responses carry no quota-specific rate limit headers or
+`Retry-After` because the quota is not a time window; rely on the status code and message instead.
+
 ## Error Codes

-| Code                | Status | Description                   |
-| ------------------- | ------ | ----------------------------- |
-| `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` | 429    | HTTP rate limit exceeded      |
-| `LIMIT_EXCEEDED`    | 400    | Resource usage limit exceeded |

+| ------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` | 429    | Global per-IP, organisation windowed, or monthly quota exceeded    |
+| `LIMIT_EXCEEDED`    | 400    | Resource usage limit exceeded                                      |
+
+There are three sources of `TOO_MANY_REQUESTS` responses:
+
+1. The global per-IP limit, returning the `{ "error": "..." }` body shown above.
+2. Organisation windowed rate limits for the `api`, `document`, and `email` counters.
+3. Organisation monthly quotas for the same three counters. Every authenticated API request
+   consumes the `api` counter, so any endpoint can return this 429 once the monthly API quota is
+   exhausted — not just envelope-related ones.

For `TEMPLATE_CREATED`, `TEMPLATE_UPDATED`, and `TEMPLATE_DELETED` the template's own legacy numeric ID is in `id` and `templateId` is `null`.

 ## Retry Policy

-When a webhook delivery fails (non-2xx response or timeout), Documenso automatically retries with exponential backoff:
+A delivery fails when the endpoint returns a non-`2xx` response, the 10-second timeout expires, or the request fails. Redirects are not followed, so `3xx` responses also fail. Network and SSRF-blocked requests are recorded with response code `0`.

-| Attempt | Delay |
-| ------- | ----- |
-| 1 | Immediate |
-| 2 | 1 minute |
-| 3 | 5 minutes |
-| 4 | 30 minutes |
-| 5 | 2 hours |
+For self-hosted deployments, retries are handled by the background-job provider selected with `NEXT_PRIVATE_JOBS_PROVIDER`:

-After 5 failed attempts, the webhook is marked as failed and no further automatic retries occur. You can manually resend failed webhooks from the dashboard.
+| Provider | Total attempts | Retry timing |
+| -------- | -------------- | ------------ |
+| Local (default) | 4 | Back-to-back, with no backoff |
+| BullMQ | 3 | Exponential backoff starting at 1 second |
+| Inngest | 5 | Inngest platform backoff |
+
+Only the individual delivery (`WebhookCall`) record is marked as failed. Documenso does not automatically disable the webhook or apply a circuit breaker, so future matching events continue to be delivered. After automatic attempts are exhausted, you can manually resend a failed delivery from the dashboard.

Author	SHA1	Message	Date
ephraimduncan	ddd0da1473	docs(api): add MISSING_ENV_VAR error and envelope warning to recipients	2026-07-31 12:56:28 +00:00
ephraimduncan	1e1e15a7dc	docs(api): document MISSING_SIGNATURE_FIELD error Thrown with HTTP 400 from envelope distribution when a signer has no signature field	2026-07-30 22:04:01 +00:00
ephraimduncan	4e87121bef	docs: fix workflows, authentication, error codes and id formats - workflows: flat pagination shape, signing URLs via /envelope/distribute, pending version value - authentication: tokens are team-scoped; fix expiry options and use GET /envelope for the check - recipients: envelope IDs use the envelope_ prefix format, not cuid - common-errors: add ENVELOPE_CANCELLED, ENVELOPE_TSP_LOCKED and CSC_* codes	2026-07-30 22:04:01 +00:00
ephraimduncan	f353706e24	docs(api): filter team document lists by type GET /envelope without type returns templates as well as documents; add type=DOCUMENT to every document-list example so counts and results match the prose	2026-07-30 22:04:01 +00:00
ephraimduncan	eeae0e1e02	docs(api): make templates and teams pages envelope-first - lead templates page with POST /envelope/use and /envelope/distribute; label /template/* deprecated - legacy /template/use returns no signingUrl; document the real responses - teams page: /team/* REST endpoints are not exposed; reframe around team-scoped tokens - fix fabricated pagination wrappers; replace false Teams API card on the index page	2026-07-30 22:04:01 +00:00
ephraimduncan	3c9c490505	docs(getting-started): fix distribute route, pagination and retry advice - POST /envelope/{id}/distribute does not exist; use POST /envelope/distribute with body - list responses are flat (data, count, currentPage, perPage, totalPages), not nested pagination - replace fixed 60s sleep advice with Retry-After header handling	2026-07-30 22:04:01 +00:00
ephraimduncan	905e68fdea	fix(trpc): map v2 field update coordinates to service names - ZUpdateEnvelopeFieldsRequestSchema accepts page/positionX/positionY but the service consumes pageNumber/pageX/pageY, so position updates via POST /envelope/field/update-many were silently dropped; map the names in the route before calling updateEnvelopeFields - docs: show Decimal coordinates as serialized strings in field responses - docs: include the defaulted fieldMeta values returned when the request omits fieldMeta - docs: use real envelope/envelope-item ID formats in samples	2026-07-30 22:04:01 +00:00
ephraimduncan	ced5af4d5a	docs(api): rewrite fields examples for envelope field schemas - request is { envelopeId, data } not { documentId, fields } - coordinates are page/positionX/positionY not pageNumber/pageX/pageY - responses use the data wrapper; field type samples verified against the Zod schemas	2026-07-30 22:04:00 +00:00
ephraimduncan	b076a70d98	docs(api): document cancel endpoint and fix get-many body shape - add Cancel Document section: PENDING-only, not idempotent, access rules, webhook and emails - replace fabricated envelopeIds get-many body with the real nested ids selector (max 20) - document the data wrapper and silent filtering of inaccessible IDs - add CANCELLED to status table, state diagram, transitions and filters - replace nonexistent API source value with the real enum; fix pagination shape and fences - warn in migration guide that get-many body shape changed from documentIds	2026-07-30 22:04:00 +00:00
ephraimduncan	6ace46fefd	docs(trpc): add openapi descriptions to envelope cancel, delete and update routes - these routes rendered without descriptions in the generated API reference - add route-level descriptions and field-level .describe() calls matching sibling schemas	2026-07-30 22:04:00 +00:00
ephraimduncan	478229aa90	docs(api): address rate limit review findings - document the real 429 bodies: v1 returns { message }, v2 returns the structured error object - exclude CORS preflight responses from the header guarantee - describe monthly quotas as organisation-wide api/document/email counters, not envelope-only - retry example: honor Retry-After exactly; cap only the exponential fallback delay	2026-07-30 22:04:00 +00:00
ephraimduncan	d3eb0c7999	docs(api): document rate limit headers and 429 variants - document X-RateLimit-Limit/-Remaining/-Reset on every v1/v2/v2-beta response - document Retry-After on 429s and epoch-aligned 1-minute windows (real wait is 1-60s) - show both 429 body shapes: global error key vs AppError code/message/statusCode - cover the three 429 sources including the headerless monthly quota; add v2-beta to scope	2026-07-30 22:04:00 +00:00
ephraimduncan	918e42b992	docs(webhooks): address review findings - qualify the SSRF guard as best-effort (no DNS-rebinding coverage, fails open on lookup errors) - use envelope IDs from the actual generator alphabet (no digits possible) - fix template-events intro: templateId is null except on TEMPLATE_USED	2026-07-30 21:57:43 +00:00
ephraimduncan	f21eddef19	docs(webhooks): correct retry policy, timeout and payload reference - replace fabricated retry schedule with provider behavior (local 4, BullMQ 3, Inngest 5 attempts) - fix webhook timeout from 30s to 10s and define failure semantics (3xx not followed, code 0) - clarify failed deliveries never auto-disable a webhook; document SSRF rules and http:// support - add envelopeId to all payload examples; frame numeric id as legacy v1 identifier - remove phantom documentMeta field; fix hardcoded timezone/dateFormat values - add missing status/source enum values and document the RECIPIENT_EXPIRED event	2026-07-30 21:37:24 +00:00
