This page is the resolution target of the RFC 9457 type URI on every purge_impact_changed problem body: https://docs.get-exo.com/errors/purge_impact_changed. HTTP status: 409 Conflict.

Why it happens

The dry run returns exact per-table impact counts and mints a token bound to them. The confirm re-counts before deleting and refuses if the numbers moved. This is the whole safety property of the ceremony: you can never confirm a deletion larger than the one you reviewed.

How to fix it

  • Run the dry run again with dryRun: true, review the new counts, and confirm with the new token.
  • If the counts keep moving, pause the ingestion writing into that partition first.
