+"""Regression guard for #31273: HTTP 402 (Payment Required) must abort
+immediately rather than burn ``agent.api_max_retries`` more 402 charges
+against an already-depleted credit balance.
+
+The conversation loop's is_client_error predicate has an exclusion set of
+``FailoverReason`` values that bypass the non-retryable abort path. Before
+this fix, ``FailoverReason.billing`` was in that exclusion set, which meant
+a single-credential OpenRouter pool with no fallback chain configured would
+fall through to ``while retry_count < max_retries`` and retry the same 402
+three times by default — exactly the runaway-token-spend behavior reported
+in #31273.
+
+This test pins the invariant: billing must NOT be in
+``_NON_CLIENT_ERROR_REASONS``, so the retry loop classifies a 402 billing
+error as a client error and aborts after the usual pool-rotation and
+eager-fallback recovery paths run upstream.
