Reddit rejected the post to r/${postData.sr}: ${all.json.err

Error message

Reddit rejected the post to r/${postData.sr}: ${all.json.errors.map((e: any[]) => e?.[1] || e?.[0] || '').join(', ')}

What it means

Reddit's submit endpoint returns HTTP 200 with a json.errors array when it rejects a submission (RATELIMIT, NO_TEXT, TOO_OLD, QUARANTINE, etc.). finalizePost checks this array and throws BadBody listing each error code/message so the real reason surfaces instead of a later unknown-outcome failure.

Solutions

1. Read the error codes in the message and address the specific one (wait for RATELIMIT, fix fields for NO_TEXT/TOO_OLD)
2. Verify the account is allowed to post to r/{sr} (age, karma, bans)
3. Slow down scheduled Reddit posts to avoid RATELIMIT
4. Re-authenticate if the error indicates session/token problems

if (!content?.trim()) throw new Error('Post text required for Reddit');

catch (e) { if (/Reddit rejected the post/.test(e.message)) { const codes = e.message.match(/RATELIMIT|NO_TEXT|TOO_OLD/g); /* branch on codes */ } }

When it happens

Trigger: POST to api/submit succeeds at HTTP level but all.json.errors is non-empty — posting too fast (RATELIMIT), missing/invalid fields, banned from subreddit, invalid captcha/redirect, etc.

Common situations: Posting repeatedly from the same account (rate limit), new accounts posting to restricted subreddits, deleted/invalid sr, or shadowbanned accounts.
