gRPC 9 FAILED_PRECONDITION vs 16 UNAUTHENTICATED
Both gRPC 9 (FAILED_PRECONDITION) and 16 (UNAUTHENTICATED) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 9 indicates that the operation was rejected because the system is not in a state required for the operation's execution. For example, deleting a non-empty directory. Meanwhile, 16 means that the request does not have valid authentication credentials for the operation.
