For information about the errors that are common to all actions, see [Common Error Types](CommonErrors.md).

 ** InternalErrorException **   
The operation failed because of a system problem, even though the request was valid. Retry your request.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** InvalidInputException **   
The parameters of the request were invalid.  
HTTP Status Code: 400

HTTP Status Code: 400

 ** LimitExceededException **   
The operation exceeds a resource limit, for example, the maximum number of `policy` objects that you can create for an AWS account. For more information, see [Firewall Manager Limits](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/waf/latest/developerguide/fms-limits.html) in the * AWS WAF Developer Guide*.
