What it means

Raised in rollbarItemRequest when the Rollbar API returns a non-2xx status: the error is just the HTTP status string (e.g. '403 Forbidden'), with no body. Fires for invalid access tokens, wrong project, rate limits, or server errors when fetching active items.

2. Check the configured Rollbar project and endpoint URL
3. Inspect resp.Status in the message for the exact HTTP code
4. Back off on 429 rate-limit responses and retry later
