Error codes

INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE

The account does not hold enough money for this payment.

Exit code: 6 · Who acts: You or another person, after you read the current state, or by waiting · From: the CLI, the SDK and the backend

What it means

The account does not hold enough money for this payment.

Common causes

  • The balance is lower than the amount, or money is already set aside for other payments.

Fix it

  1. Check the balance: capxul balance.
  2. Add money (capxul address shows where), or send a smaller amount.

In JSON and the SDK

With --json, the CLI prints:

{
  "outcome": "refused",
  "error": {
    "code": "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE",
    "message": "…"
  }
}

In the SDK, a failed result has result.error.code === "INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE". Branch on the code, not on the message: the message is written for people and can change.
