Refused with `409` while an order is in flight (`ACCOUNT_EXECUTING`), while a multi-account order that includes it has not finished (`ACCOUNT_IN_WAVE`), and when our last look found open positions (`ACCOUNT_HAS_POSITIONS`): those stay open at the broker with their stops, but could no longer be shown or closed here. Close them first, or send `force=true` to delete anyway. Alert hooks stop sending to the account; a hook left with no accounts is switched off. This month's usage is unaffected. The same login and server can be connected again afterwards, as a new account.
