Prompt

My requests to the ElevenLabs API are failing and I cannot tell if the issue is authentication, quota limits, or invalid parameters. Please run diagnostic probes across connectivity, subscription usage, and voice listing, determine the underlying status code and error string to provide the right fix, and show a final probe run confirming a successful 200 response from the account endpoint and healthy voice counts.

What was checked, without and with the skill
Checked	Without skill	With skill
Includes curl probe targeting https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user with xi-api-key header	Passed	Passed
Includes jq command filtering subscription details character_count	Missed	Passed

ElevenLabs Common Errors

Overview

Quick diagnostic reference for ElevenLabs API errors organized by HTTP status code: run the connectivity probe, map the observed status code to a fix, then confirm with the debug checklist. This file is the fast index; the full per-error catalog (payloads + code fixes for every status code) lives in references/error-reference.md.

Prerequisites

ElevenLabs SDK installed
API key configured (ELEVENLABS_API_KEY)
Access to error logs or console output

Instructions

Step 1: Quick Diagnostic

Run the connectivity probe to isolate auth from quota from request problems:

# Test API connectivity and auth
curl -s -w "\nHTTP %{http_code}" \
  https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user \
  -H "xi-api-key: ${ELEVENLABS_API_KEY}"

# Check character quota
curl -s https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/user \
  -H "xi-api-key: ${ELEVENLABS_API_KEY}" | \
  jq '.subscription | {tier, character_count, character_limit}'

# List available voices (confirms API access)
curl -s https://api.elevenlabs.io/v1/voices \
  -H "xi-api-key: ${ELEVENLABS_API_KEY}" | jq '.voices | length'

Step 2: Map the Status Code to a Fix
