# New Capacity Exception

`POST /v2/users/capacity/exceptions/{userID}`

Creates a capacity exception for a user.

`capacityMinutes` means the user's available work capacity **per day** for each day in the exception date/range. It is **not** the total duration of the exception range.

Examples:

- `capacityMinutes: 0` => unavailable that day (or each day in the range).
    
- `capacityMinutes: 480` => 8 hours available per day.
    

You can provide either:

- `capacityMinutes` directly, or
    
- `hoursPerDay` + `minutesPerDay` (equivalent input).

## Request body

- object
  - `exceptionStartDate` string, date
  - `exceptionEndDate` string, date
  - `capacityMinutes` integer
  - `exceptionTitle` string
  - `exceptionNotes` string
  - `exceptionType` unknown

- `401` — No `Authorization` header was provided on the request.
- `403` — The supplied credentials are invalid, the customer account is inactive, or the credentials do not have permission to perform this action.
- `404` — The referenced resource does not exist or is not visible to the authenticated customer.
- `409` — The request conflicts with the current state of the resource (e.g. a uniqueness constraint or a referenced parent that is in the wrong state).
- `429` — The per-minute or per-hour rate limit for this credential and method has been exhausted. Inspect the `X-RateLimit-*` headers to determine when to retry.
- `500` — An unhandled server-side error. The body message is generic (`System unavailable...`) when the underlying cause is a database fault; otherwise it reflects the raised error.
