## Error responses

| HTTP status code | Description |
| --- | --- |
| 400 | Bad Request  Returned, for example, when a required parameter is missing or malformatted. |
| 401 | Unauthorized – authentication credentials are missing or invalid  Returned when the request was not fulfilled because authentication has failed or has not been provided. |
| 403 | Action forbidden - insufficient permissions to perform this action  Returned, for example, when you don't have permissions necessary to perform this action. |
| 404 | Not found  Returned when the label that you're trying to update cannot be found. This can happen, for example, when the label or corresponding label group doesn't exist, or the provided ID is incorrect. |
| 409 | Conflict  Request conflicts with the current state of the resource. Returned, for example, when a label with the provided name already exists. |
| 422 | Unprocessable entity - label cannot be updated due to business rules   Returned, for example, when you have an accounting software integration connected to your Revolut Business account, and labels are managed by that integration.  The request is well-formed and the server understands it, but the operation cannot be performed because the resource state doesn't permit it. Retrying the same request won't succeed. |
