# Subscription billing attempts throttling

Beginning in API version 2026-01, billing attempts will be throttled based on internal trust metrics to prevent abuse. If an attempt is throttled, it will be visible in the new `throttled` error code on the [`BillingAttemptUserErrorCode`](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/BillingAttemptUserErrorCode) enum.
