## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Delete your account. |
| What does it take? | A JSON body of type [`DeleteAccountBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#deleteaccountbody). |
| What does it return? | Status 204 with no body. |
| What can go wrong? | `400` what was typed is not the account's address (`account.confirmation_mismatch`); `401` not signed in; `403` the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `409` a paid plan is active (`account.subscription_active`), or an organisation it owns has other people in it (`account.owns_shared_orgs`); `429` too many requests; `503` hosting is not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
