Resolving "ReCaptcha Solving Failed: Account Has Zero or Negative Balance"

This guide addresses the common error message account has zero or negative balance that occurs during ReCaptcha solving with CaptchaAI. The issue typically indicates that your available threads are fully utilized and no free slots are available for additional requests.


Understanding the Error

When using CaptchaAI, your subscription plan determines the number of threads you can utilize concurrently.

  • What Are Threads?
    Threads represent the number of captchas that can be solved simultaneously. For example, a plan with 15 threads allows you to process 15 captchas at the same time.

  • Why Does the Error Occur?
    If all your threads are actively solving captchas and you submit an additional request, the system cannot process it until a thread becomes available. This results in the error message:
    account has zero or negative balance.
