Summary

This PR applies the /style-guide skill (Google Developer Style Guide + CoreWeave conventions) to the seven support articles for Serverless Inference API error codes listed below. The run was fully automated; only style-level edits were made.

Recommendations for technical review

Verification steps

• 401 article: Add a step to verify a regenerated API key works (for example, a sample successful response), and describe what a resolved state looks like (such as receiving a 200 from the inference endpoint).
• 403 (country/region): Add a brief expected-outcome statement (for example, "After moving to a supported location, retrying the request returns a 200 response") and consider documenting an escalation path for false-positive geo-blocks.
• 403 (inference gateway): Describe what the reader should expect after an administrator enables the gateway — how quickly the 403 stops, whether the client needs to retry, and any propagation delay.
• 429 article: Add a pointer for confirming the fix worked, such as how to observe concurrency levels or verify that 429 responses have stopped.
• 500 article: Specify a recommended initial wait time and backoff factor (for example, "1 second, doubling up to 30 seconds") instead of generic "a few seconds" / "exponential backoff."

Missing content

• 401 article: Tell the reader how to find the correct entity or project name (UI location, API method, or wandb CLI command), and link to the auth configuration docs for readers landing cold.
• 402 article (api-error-code-402-you-exceeded-your-cur.mdx:19-21): Link the three "Restore access" items to W&B account settings/billing, the purchase or upgrade flow, and the spending-cap configuration location (note the required role/permission for adjusting the cap).
• 403 (country/region): Link "Enterprise customers" and clarify "special arrangements" (enterprise contracts, dedicated deployments) or remove the phrase, and link to the account-team contact page.
• 403 (inference gateway): Add inline links for "the inference gateway" and "Serverless Inference" to a concept page or overview.
• 429 article: Define or link an explanation for "exponential backoff," document actual concurrency limits per plan (or how a user can find their current limit), and describe how to request a limit increase.
• 500 article: Specify a retry threshold before contacting support (for example, "after 3–5 retries with backoff") and name the specific details support needs (such as a request ID or correlation ID, if Serverless Inference returns one).

Technical accuracy

• 401 article: Confirm the 401 + "Authentication failed" message is exclusive to the Serverless Inference API and not raised by other W&B endpoints with different remediation.
• 402 article: Verify the literal API error string You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details matches the exact message returned by the Inference API (now in code font, so mismatches will be more visible).
• 403 (country/region) (lines 28-35): Confirm Serverless Inference determines your location from your IP address at the time of the API request is the sole geolocation mechanism (not billing address, account region, or proxy detection), and verify the literal error JSON matches the current API response shape (field names, types, and 403 as integer vs. string). Also confirm the anchor link /inference/usage-limits/#geographic-restrictions is still the canonical destination.
• 403 (inference gateway): Reconcile audience framing — the keywords frontmatter tags the article for "Administrator," but the body addresses the blocked end user. Also review the casing of "the inference gateway" if it's an official product or feature name (style editor preserved existing casing).
• 429 article: Confirm that the recommended remediation (queuing/throttling plus exponential backoff) is the correct, currently supported guidance for Serverless Inference 429 concurrency errors.
• 500 article: Verify "Serverless Inference" is the canonical product name used elsewhere in the W&B Inference docs, or whether it should be "W&B Inference."

Information architecture

• 403 (country/region): Consider placing "Error details" before "What you can do" so readers confirm the error signature before working through the fix.

Prerequisites

• 401 and 403 (country/region) articles assume the reader knows where the API key is supplied (header, env var, or client config) and don't include a prerequisites section. As short error-reference articles this is likely fine, but a technical reviewer should confirm.

How to review

• Each file's changes are style edits only. Compare side-by-side and flag any that change technical meaning.
