📍<mark style="color:blue;">**Solution:**</mark> This error means that you are using an outdated Bybit account type, namely Standard Account Type.

We strongly recommend upgrading to a Unified Trading Account (UTA), as the Standard account type no longer supports the API, which may affect the correct, stable operation of strategies and the frequency of errors in them. Bybit's Standard Account is currently considered obsolete, the exchange is trying its best to move users to a new type of account.

You can switch to a Unified Trading Account at the following link: [https://www.bybit.com/ru-RU/promo/events/unified-trading-account.](https://www.bybit.com/en/promo/events/unified-trading-account)
