gRPC 3 INVALID_ARGUMENT vs 9 FAILED_PRECONDITION
Both gRPC 3 (INVALID_ARGUMENT) and 9 (FAILED_PRECONDITION) belong to the gRPC Status Codes category. 3 indicates that the client specified an invalid argument. This indicates arguments that are problematic regardless of the state of the system. Meanwhile, 9 means 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.

Quando você o vê
The request is valid on its own, but the system's current state doesn't allow it — like trying to delete a non-empty directory or update a resource that has been modified concurrently.
Como corrigir
Bring the system into the required state before retrying. For example, empty the directory first, or re-read the resource to get the latest version before updating.
