# Open a dispute

POST https://api.agentrouter.to/v1/disputes
Content-Type: application/json

For charged runs (at most 50, within 30 days) whose correct input returned wrong or
unusable data. Describe the goal, what went wrong and, when possible, the find query
and a comparison run. A reviewer decides; approved refunds go back to the wallet once.
