BUDGET_EXCEED

Error message

Budget field "${key}" exceeds maximum (${value} > ${max})

What it means

validateBudgets() found a budget field exceeding its MAX_BUDGET_LIMITS sanity cap (e.g. absurd token or memory-write ceilings). BUDGET_EXCEED error: the manifest asks for more than the platform allows; value and max are both reported.

Solutions

1. Reduce the input size/depth below the documented limit, or batch the input into smaller chunks.
2. Validate the limit before processing and report the measured versus allowed value to the caller.
