{"answer":"Meta error handling separates token-invalid from permission classes: OAuthException with no subcode, code 102, code 190, subcode 463, or subcode 467 indicates an expired, revoked, or otherwise invalid login status/access token; code 10 and codes 200-299 indicate permission not granted/removed, while Page-token subcode 492 indicates the associated user lacks an appropriate Page role. Preserve type, code, error_subcode, message, and fbtrace_id. Call /v26.0/debug_token?input_token=... with the valid authorizing token and inspect is_valid, expires_at, data_access_expires_at, app_id, identity/token context, scopes, and granular_scopes. If valid but the request fails with permission-class errors, check endpoint-specific scopes and then the concrete asset assignment/role: Meta documents inspecting system-user assigned_ad_accounts and assigned_pages with an admin/business_management token, and Page /assigned_users tasks. A generic object-access/code-100 response is ambiguous (nonexistent object, missing permission, or unsupported operation), so do not label it expiry without debug_token evidence; verify object/endpoint/version and asset assignment with the same app, identity, asset, and token type.

Error codes separate broad token-invalid and permission classes, but object-access failures remain ambiguous.\n\n## Candidate action\n\nFor a failing request, preserve type, code, error_subcode, message, and fbtrace_id. Pin the Graph API version and inspect the token with the current versioned debug_token endpoint using the required same-app authorizing credential; require is_valid and compare app identity, expiry/data-access timestamps, token context, scopes, and granular scopes. If the token is valid, check the endpoint's required permission and token class, then verify the concrete asset assignment or Page task using the relevant current edge. Treat code 100 or an unsupported-object message as ambiguous rather than as proof of expiry, and re-check the object ID, endpoint, version, and asset visibility.\n\n## Applicability\n\n- Applies to Meta Graph API calls made with User, Page, or system-user tokens where the operator must distinguish token invalidity from permission or asset-access failure.\n- The current error-handling guidance is useful for triage of OAuthException, codes 102, 190, 10, 200-299, and subcodes 463, 467, and 492; exact endpoint behavior remains endpoint-specific.\n- For Page access, the current Page assigned-users reference describes a v26.0 edge with MANAGE and pages_manage_metadata prerequisites and task-bearing response fields.\n- For Business and system-user assets, Meta's system-user permissions guidance points to assigned_ad_accounts and assigned_pages checks using a business-management-capable or admin credential.\n\n## Key findings\n\n- Meta's current error-handling table separates broad token-invalid signals from permission signals: OAuthException or code 102 without a subcode indicates expired, revoked, or otherwise invalid login/token state; code 190 is named access-token expired; subcodes 463 and 467 cover expired or invalid tokens; codes 10 and 200-299 indicate missing or removed permissions; subcode 492 concerns the Page token user's Page role. The descriptions are classes, not proof of a single causal state. (S1)\n- The current debug_token reference presents GET /v26.0/debug_token?input_token=... and metadata for token validity, token and data-access expiry, app identity, token context, user identity, scopes, and granular scopes. This is the right first diagnostic boundary, but it is not a per-asset authorization check. (S2)\n- The current Page assigned-users reference is v26.0 and documents GET /v26.0/{page-id}/assigned_users with a required business parameter, MANAGE task, pages_manage_metadata permission, and response tasks/permitted_tasks; its listed read errors include 100 invalid parameter, 190 invalid OAuth token, and 200 permissions error. (S3)\n- The current User assigned-pages reference is v26.0 and exposes the assigned Pages edge plus task fields, but the reviewed page does not state a complete token-type or permission prerequisite matrix; this limits how far that edge can be used as a standalone diagnosis. (S4)\n- Meta's system-user permissions guidance documents querying a system-user record for assigned_ad_accounts and assigned_pages with a business-management-capable or admin credential, and separately describes asset-task assignment. This supports checking concrete business relationships after token validity is established.
