Issue Summary

When entering an invalid or expired promo code in the AIGNE Hub top-up screen, the app displays a generic "Forbidden" error message. This feedback is technically vague and does not clearly inform the user why the code was rejected.

Environment

  • App: ArcSphere (AIGNE Hub)
  • Device: iPhone XR
  • OS Version: iOS 18.7.3

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Navigate to the Top-Up / Get AIGNE Hub Credits screen.
  2. Scroll down to the "Add promo code" section.
  3. Enter a code (e.g., "Free Test Code") and tap Apply.
  4. Observe the error message that appears below the input field.

Expected Result

The app should provide specific, user-friendly feedback such as:

  • "Invalid promo code"
  • "This code has expired"
  • "Code already redeemed"

Actual Result

The app displays a red box with the text "Forbidden". This suggests a server-side 403 error rather than a validation check, which can be alarming or confusing to a standard user.
