507 Insufficient Storage

The server cannot store the data needed to complete the request.

What 507 Insufficient Storage means

507 Insufficient Storage is a WebDAV code that some non-WebDAV APIs adopt for "out of disk space" or "quota exceeded" scenarios. It is more specific than 500 (the server is broken) or 503 (the service is unavailable): 507 says "the storage layer specifically cannot accept this".

When servers should return it: Return 507 when storage is full or quota is exceeded.
