Error message

Invalid choice. Choose from: {', '.join(TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES)}

What it means

OpenBBError from SomaHoldings.get_treasury_holdings: holding_type was supplied but is not in TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES. Unlike the agency variant (377) this message is interpolated from the actual TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES collection, so it reflects the real accepted values (typically 'bills', 'notes', 'bonds', 'frns', 'tips', 'cmbs' style labels).

Solutions

1. Use a value from the message's list exactly (case-sensitive match against TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES).
2. Normalize: strip/lower input and validate against the collection before calling.
3. Pass holding_type=None for all treasury holdings.

Example fix

// before
h = await SomaHoldings().get_treasury_holdings(holding_type='bill')
// after
h = await SomaHoldings().get_treasury_holdings(holding_type='bills')  # exact key from TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES

from openbb_federal_reserve.utils.ny_fed_api import TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES
holding_type = holding_type.strip().lower() if holding_type else None
assert holding_type is None or holding_type in TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES, f'use: {", ".join(TREASURY_HOLDING_TYPES)}'

def is_valid_treasury_holding_type(v, valid: set[str]) -> bool:
    return v is None or (isinstance(v, str) and v.strip().lower() in valid)

When it happens

Trigger: Passing holding_type='bill' (singular), 'Notes' (wrong case), or a type valid for agency holdings but not treasuries to get_treasury_holdings.

Common situations: Reusing the agency holding-type vocabulary for treasury queries; singular/plural mismatches; case-sensitive lookups from unnormalized user input.
