Proxy error codes

What each one means, and which ones are not your fault.

The ones you will actually see, and which are not your fault.

Code	Meaning	What to do
407	Authentication refused	Re-copy the password whole. This is the number one cause.
403	The target refused, not us	Try a more disguised pool.
429	Too many requests	Slow down, or lower your concurrency.
502 / 504	The gateway got no answer from the target	Retry. If it persists, the target is the problem.

Not your fault

403 and 502 come from the destination site, not from the proxy. Changing your password or port will not help — what needs to change is the pool, or how fast you are hitting it.

Your quota when things fail

A request refused for hitting the connection limit does not spend quota. A request that reaches the target does spend quota, even when the target answers with an error.
