feature_not_enabled 🔌 API

API Error: Feature not enabled for this account (feature_not_enabled / not available on your plan)

The endpoint or option exists, but your account, plan, region or project hasn’t been granted access to it.

Seen on: REST API

Meaning

Providers gate features behind plans, beta programmes, region availability or a setting in the dashboard. The API answers 403 (sometimes 400/402/404) with messages like “This feature is not enabled for your account”, “not available on your current plan”, or Google’s SERVICE_DISABLED (“API has not been used in project … or it is disabled”).

Common causes

  • Feature requires a higher plan or an add-on
  • Beta/preview feature not enabled for the account
  • Service/API not enabled in the cloud project
  • Feature not available in this region or for this account’s country
  • Using a test account without the capability

⚡ Quick fix

  1. Enable the feature/API in the provider dashboard or console
  2. Check plan and region availability
  3. Use an account or project where it is enabled

Detailed fix by platform

gcloud

  1. gcloud services enable translate.googleapis.com --project my-project

How to diagnose

  1. Entitlements — Plan, add-ons, beta access
  2. Project — Is the API/service enabled for this project?
  3. Region — Feature available where the account is?
