## Other responses

- `403` — Forbidden — the API key does not own this connection. Returned when a connection is bound to a different API key.
- `421` — Misdirected Request — in cluster mode, this instance does not own the connection. The owning instance id is in the x-baileys-owner header; a proxy re-routes the request there. Not returned for the explicit-takeover routes: POST /connections/{phoneNumber}, /import-session and /restart.
