# policy-widening

`https://ckrets.ai/problems/policy-widening` is a problem type of the ckrets.ai API (RFC 9457: the body is
`application/problem+json` with `type`, `title`, `status` and `detail`; every problem from `/v1` also carries `requestId`).

| Status | Also in the answer | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| 409 | - | a policy change may only tighten a box's gate (fewer attempts, a later `opensAt`, a longer cooldown, `revealOnce` on); its window may be extended up to the tier's maximum but not shortened (revoke instead): `detail` names what was refused; nothing changed |

Every type, with its retry rule and headers: [limits.md, "Errors, retries and headers"](/limits.md#errors-retries-and-headers).
