telethon RPCError 400: STARGIFT_USAGE_LIMITED (caused by SendStarsFormRequest)

Question

I have an error that I stumble upon. I can't figure out if there's something wrong with my code, or if this error occurs because I've tried to make an incorrect request from this account many times before, and now I'm temporarily (or permanently) banned. Last print says An error occurred: RPCError 400: STARGIFT_USAGE_LIMITED (caused by SendStarsFormRequest)

The purpose of the code: I want to buy a gift from my userbot's stars balance (currency='XTR') and send it to my friend.

this is the part of my code:

with TelegramClient(SESSION_NAME, API_ID, API_HASH) as client:
    print("Userbot is running...")

    try:
        recipient = client.get_input_entity(RECIPIENT_USERNAME)

        invoice = InputInvoiceStarGift(
            user_id=recipient,
            gift_id=GIFT_ID,
            message=message,
            hide_name=HIDE_NAME
        )

        print(f"Generated Invoice: {invoice}")

        payment_form = client(GetPaymentFormRequest(invoice=invoice))

        if payment_form:
            print("Payment form retrieved successfully!")
            print(payment_form.stringify())

            payment_result = client(SendStarsFormRequest(
                form_id=payment_form.form_id,
                invoice=invoice
            ))

            print(f"Payment successful: {payment_result.stringify()}")

    except RPCError as e:
        print(f"An error occurred: {e}")
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Unexpected error: {e}")

terminal:

Answer 1

idk how it works, but i found the solution that works for me: i just changed GIFT_ID.

Firstly, I wanted to buy a teddy-gift, after stumble upon this error I changed it to the limited gift and this code works!
