I noticed when attempting to pull prices at 1 minute intervals between two dates that I did not have a functional API issue, but actually had a subscription limitation.

alpaca_trade_api.rest.APIError: subscription does not permit querying recent SIP data
It would be more readable if a special exception type for billing/account/access type errors were raised instead of a generic alpaca_trade_api.rest.APIError. This would also add more room for nuance in error handling in consuming applications.
Describe the solution you'd like.
Can an exception type of alpaca_trade_api.rest.APISubscriptionLimitation or similar be created?
