> Accounts connected via an official open banking connection can't be revoked on an individual basis via API. Calling this endpoint for accounts that have a `connection_type` of `official` will result in a 400 error response.

> Use one of these alternative options to the update the accounts connected via `official` connections:
>  - Send the user to the [📚 authorisation flow](/docs/authorizing-with-oauth2) where they can reduce the scope of the authorisation via their bank.
>  - Use the [Revoke Access To Authorisation](/reference/delete_authorisations-id) endpoint to revoke the entire authorisation.
