Currently the errors section at [api.beeminder.com](http://api.beeminder.com) doesn’t include 422 errors. I’m aware of at least two such errors the API returns:

- “Ratelimit reached! Too many datapoints on 2023-11-13”
- “Duplicate datapoint”

I think it would be useful to document these API errors, why they occur, and how to address them.
