What happened

A destructive action was attempted by an account that has not confirmed its identity recently. Being signed in is not enough for this one.

What to do

Step up — confirm your identity — then retry the same action.

Is retrying worth it

No. Repeating the identical request will fail identically. Something has to change first, and the line above says what.

Reading the response

Errors are RFC 9457 problem details. Switch on code, which is stable, and never on title, which is written for a person and may be reworded or translated. detail carries the specifics of this occurrence, and meta carries whatever the client needs to render the right state instead of a dead end.

Every response also carries an X-Request-Id header. Quote it if you report something — it is what lets us find the exact request.
