MESSAGE_NOT_EDITABLE

HTTP status	Retryable
`409`	No

What happened

Only text-only iMessages your workspace sent can be edited or unsent. Inbound, SMS, RCS and media messages cannot, and neither can a text that contains a link, because iMessage attaches a link preview to it.

How to fix it

Do not retry. Send a follow-up message instead.
