HTTP status: 403

Retryable: No — retrying without changes will fail the same way.

A live key was used to access a test resource (or vice versa).

When it fires

API keys are partitioned into `live` and `test` modes. Resources are likewise partitioned and a key cannot read or modify resources from the other mode.

How to handle it

Confirm which mode created the resource and use a key from that mode. In `test` mode, recreate the resource if you no longer have access to a `test` key.
