The resource being requested is reserved by an application service, or the
application service making the request has not created the resource.

:``M_RESOURCE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED``:
The request cannot be completed because the homeserver has reached a resource
limit imposed on it. For example, a homeserver held in a shared hosting environment
may reach a resource limit if it starts using too much memory or disk space. The
error MUST have an ``admin_contact`` field to provide the user receiving the error
a place to reach out to. Typically, this error will appear on routes which attempt
to modify state (eg: sending messages, account data, etc) and not routes which only
read state (eg: ``/sync``, get account data, etc).
