## Summary by CodeRabbit

## Documentation
* Updated docs for HTTP status code 546 to reference the correct
resource limit identifier: WORKER_RESOURCE_LIMIT.
* Added a note that the limit was previously named WORKER_LIMIT for
clarity.
* Revised troubleshooting guidance and examples to reflect the new
identifier and to include both WORKER_RESOURCE_LIMIT and the prior
WORKER_LIMIT naming where relevant.

## Success Responses
### 2XX Success
Your Edge Function executed successfully and returned a valid response. This includes any status code in the 200-299 range that your function explicitly returns.
### 3XX Redirect
Your Edge Function used the `Response.redirect()` API to redirect the client to a different URL. This is a normal response when implementing authentication flows or URL forwarding.
---
## Client Errors
These errors indicate issues with the request itself, which typically require changing how the function is called.
### 401 Unauthorized
**Cause:** The Edge Function has JWT verification enabled, but the request was made with an invalid or missing JWT token.
**Solution:**
- Ensure you're passing a valid JWT token in the `Authorization` header
- Check that your token hasn't expired
- For webhooks or public endpoints, consider disabling JWT verification
### 404 Not Found
**Cause:** The requested Edge Function doesn't exist or the URL path is incorrect.
**Solution:**
- Verify the function name and project reference in your request URL
- Check that the function has been deployed successfully
### 405 Method Not Allowed
**Cause:** You're using an unsupported HTTP method. Edge Functions only support: `GET`, `POST`, `PUT`, `PATCH`, `DELETE`, and `OPTIONS`.
**Solution:** Update your request to use a supported HTTP method.
---
## Server Errors
These errors indicate issues with the function execution or underlying platform.
### 500 Internal Server Error
**Cause:** Your Edge Function threw an uncaught exception (`WORKER_ERROR`).
**Common causes:**
- Unhandled JavaScript errors in your function code
- Missing error handling for async operations
- Invalid JSON parsing
**Solution:** Check your Edge Function logs to identify the specific error and add proper error handling to your code.
```tsx
// ✅ Good error handling
try {
const result = await someAsyncOperation()
return new Response(JSON.stringify(result))
} catch (error) {
console.error('Function error:', error)
return new Response('Internal error', { status: 500 })
}
```
You can see the output in the [Edge Function Logs](/docs/guides/functions/logging).
### 503 Service Unavailable
**Cause:** Your Edge Function failed to start (`BOOT_ERROR`).
**Common causes:**
- Syntax errors preventing the function from loading
- Import errors or missing dependencies
- Invalid function configuration
**Solution:** Check your Edge Function logs and verify your function code can be executed locally with `supabase functions serve`.
### 504 Gateway Timeout
**Cause:** Your Edge Function didn't respond within the [request timeout limit](/docs/guides/functions/limits).
**Common causes:**
- Long-running database queries
- Slow external API calls
- Infinite loops or blocking operations
**Solution:**
- Optimize slow operations
- Add timeout handling to external requests
- Consider breaking large operations into smaller chunks
### 546 Resource Limit (Custom Error Code)
**Cause:** Your Edge Function execution was stopped due to exceeding resource limits (`WORKER_RESOURCE_LIMIT`, previously it was `WORKER_LIMIT`). Edge Function logs should provide which [resource limit](/docs/guides/functions/limits) was exceeded.
**Common causes:**
- Memory usage exceeded available limits
- CPU time exceeded execution quotas
- Too many concurrent operations
**Solution:** Check your Edge Function logs to see which resource limit was exceeded, then optimize your function accordingly.
