PROVIDER — accounts and indexers

Raised by the provider health checks against your download client and indexer aggregator.

Code	Severity	Exit	What it means	What to do
PROVIDER-1	error	1	A Usenet account has nothing left. It authenticates perfectly and can download nothing, which looks exactly like a broken stack from the outside. A block account does not refill on its own.	Top the account up, or point the client at one that has data left.
PROVIDER-2	warning	1	A Usenet account is running out, with time left to act. At the rate it is being used it runs out shortly, and downloads will stop with nothing else having changed.	Top the account up before it runs out.
PROVIDER-3	warning	1	The subscription behind a Usenet account ends on the date recorded for it in the download client. When it lapses the account stops serving.	Renew the subscription, or clear its date in the client if it renews itself.
PROVIDER-4	warning	1	An indexer has been failing and its aggregator has rested it. Searches through it are not coming back; the others still are, so releases are found from a smaller pool.	Check the indexer's subscription and its status page, then test it in the aggregator.
PROVIDER-5	error	1	Every indexer is failing at once. Indexers do not all fail on the same afternoon, so the cause is almost always on this side of the connection.	Check this machine's network and DNS, and the tunnel if searches run through one.
PROVIDER-6	error	1	A Usenet account is refusing the login. The provider answered the download client and rejected the credentials it offered. Every service stays green while nothing downloads.	Check the account's username and password in the download client, and that the subscription behind it is still active.
PROVIDER-7	warning	1	A Usenet account has stopped answering the client entirely. That is the provider being down or the connection to it failing, rather than anything about the account — which is worth telling apart from a rejected login before changing anything.	Check the provider's status page and this machine's connection. The client picks the account up again on its own once it answers.
PROVIDER-8	warning	1	The download client is set to open more connections than the account allows, and the provider refuses the ones beyond the plan. Downloads still run on the rest, and the refusals read as an unreliable provider rather than as one setting too high.	Lower the connection count for that account in the download client to what the plan includes.
PROVIDER-9	warning	1	An indexer has spent the allowance recorded against it. Searches through it come back empty until it resets, and neither it nor the aggregator says so anywhere.	Wait for the allowance to reset, or raise the limit recorded for that indexer in the aggregator if the subscription allows more.

What each severity and each exit means is on every error by code, beside every other family.
