# Admin API requests to locked stores will return a 423 status code instead of 420

Currently, Admin API requests to locked stores return a 420 status code. As of Thursday, August 30th, this response will change to 423. We're pushing this change to reduce ambiguity around the 420 response code and make sure our responses are as accurate as possible.
