Test keys and test SDK sessions never message real customers. Use a live key, or connect a WhatsApp test number.

The detail explains the occurrence; it can read, for example:

  • Test-mode keys and SDK sessions cannot send real WhatsApp messages. Connect a WhatsApp test number, or use a live key.

The request is understood but refused; retrying it unchanged fails again.
