Serializing error on subscription update fails

[thePmr]

Description of the Bug

When getting error from API, it seems that response now contains nested object and SDK fails to serialize it:

An unhandled exception has occurred while executing the request.
System.ArgumentException: Sorry, something went wrong when trying to process the request. If this problem persists, contact us at support@chargebee.com.

Expected Behavior

PaymentException is thrown
