+- `exc.transient` / `exc.fatal`: the classification. `is_transient_error(code_or_exc)` is the same check as a function; `DEFINITIVE_ERROR_CODES` is the full list of fatal codes.
+
+A failed check-in only counts as an AuthForge verdict when the body is a JSON object with `"status": "failed"` and a non-empty `error` string. Any other failure body (for example a proxy's JSON, or `{"status": "revoked"}`) is reported as `unexpected_response`, whose message includes the raw `status` and `error`.
+
+| Kind | Codes | What the SDK does |
+|---|---|---|
+| Fatal | `revoked`, `expired`, `hwid_mismatch` (the HWID is no longer bound to the license, for example after an HWID reset), `blocked` (HWID/IP blacklisted or not whitelisted), `session_expired` (also raised locally when the grace period or session TTL runs out), `malformed_request`, `app_disabled`, `invalid_app`, `signature_mismatch` | Clears the stored session (as `logout()` does) and stops background checks **before** calling `on_failure`, so the grace period cannot keep the app running on it. `on_failure` may call `login()` again. |

Once the signed session's TTL has passed, the next transient failure is reported as a fatal `session_expired` instead. |
+
+Transient failures only keep checking in if `on_failure` returns normally. Without a callback, any failure still ends the process with `os._exit(1)`. Heartbeat network failures are reported once, as `heartbeat_failed` with code `network_error` or `timeout`, not as a separate `network_error` reason.
+
+`on_failure` runs on the background heartbeat thread with no SDK lock held, so calling `logout()`, `is_authenticated()` or `login()` from it is safe. A check-in that is still in flight when you call `logout()` or `login()` is discarded: it cannot restore the old session or report a failure for it.

 **Grace period (default).** After a successful activation, the SDK re-verifies the cached signed session payload and checks the expiry timestamp locally at each `heartbeat_interval`: no network calls. When the session TTL expires, it triggers failure with `session_expired`. The grace period is **session continuation within the session TTL** (default 24h, server clamps 1h to 7d) after one successful online activation. It is not persistent offline licensing, and a mid-session revocation is not picked up until the next online validate or check-in.
 
-**Online check-ins (opt-in, `online_heartbeat=True`).** The SDK calls `/auth/heartbeat` every `heartbeat_interval` seconds with a fresh nonce, verifies signature + nonce, and triggers failure on invalid session state. Use this when you need fast revocation propagation or concurrent-use detection.

A definitive rejection (`revoked`, `hwid_mismatch`, `blocked`, ...) clears the stored session immediately; every other failure (network, `rate_limited`, `system_error`, `no_credits`, unrecognized responses, ...) is transient and keeps it until the session TTL runs out.

Codes added to the server later are passed through unchanged.
 
 Request retries are automatic inside the internal HTTP layer:
-- `rate_limited`: retry after 2s, then 5s (max 3 attempts total)
+- `rate_limited`, or HTTP 429 with no error code: retry after 2s, then 5s (max 3 attempts total)
+- `no_credits`, `demo_quota_exceeded` and `app_burn_cap_reached` also arrive as HTTP 429 but are never retried immediately; online check-ins try again at the next interval
 - network failure: retry once after 2s
 - every retry regenerates a fresh nonce
 
+### Background check failures
+
+Background check failures reach `on_failure("heartbeat_failed", exc)`, where `exc` is an `AuthForgeError` (a `ValueError` subclass):
+
+- `exc.code`: the server's error code from the response body, whatever the HTTP status (`revoked`, `expired`, `hwid_mismatch`, `blocked`, `session_expired`, `rate_limited`, `no_credits`, `system_error`, `malformed_request`, ...), or an SDK code: `network_error`, `timeout`, `http_error_<status>` (non-JSON error body), `invalid_json_response`, `unexpected_response`, `signature_mismatch`, `nonce_mismatch`.
+- `exc.transient` / `exc.fatal`: the classification. `is_transient_error(code_or_exc)` is the same check as a function; `DEFINITIVE_ERROR_CODES` is the full list of fatal codes.
+
+A failed check-in only counts as an AuthForge verdict when the body is a JSON object with `"status": "failed"` and a non-empty `error` string. Any other failure body (for example a proxy's JSON, or `{"status": "revoked"}`) is reported as `unexpected_response`, whose message includes the raw `status` and `error`.
+
+| Kind | Codes | What the SDK does |
+|---|---|---|
+| Fatal | `revoked`, `expired`, `hwid_mismatch` (the HWID is no longer bound to the license, for example after an HWID reset), `blocked` (HWID/IP blacklisted or not whitelisted), `session_expired` (also raised locally when the grace period or session TTL runs out), `malformed_request`, `app_disabled`, `invalid_app`, `signature_mismatch` | Clears the stored session (as `logout()` does) and stops background checks **before** calling `on_failure`, so the grace period cannot keep the app running on it. `on_failure` may call `login()` again. |
+| Transient | Everything else: `network_error`, `timeout`, `rate_limited`, `system_error`, `no_credits`, `demo_quota_exceeded`, `app_burn_cap_reached`, `bad_request`, `invalid_key`, every `http_error_<status>`, `invalid_json_response`, `unexpected_response`, `nonce_mismatch`, any unrecognized code | Keeps the session and checks in again on the next `heartbeat_interval`. Once the signed session's TTL has passed, the next transient failure is reported as a fatal `session_expired` instead. |
+
+Transient failures only keep checking in if `on_failure` returns normally. Without a callback, any failure still ends the process with `os._exit(1)`. Heartbeat network failures are reported once, as `heartbeat_failed` with code `network_error` or `timeout`, not as a separate `network_error` reason.
+
+`on_failure` runs on the background heartbeat thread with no SDK lock held, so calling `logout()`, `is_authenticated()` or `login()` from it is safe. A check-in that is still in flight when you call `logout()` or `login()` is discarded: it cannot restore the old session or report a failure for it.
