- lookups: matched 0, fixed 0, not fixed 0

## Statements (checkable)
0. 410 fullSyncRequired: "Sync token is no longer valid, a full sync is required." (reason fullSyncRequired, location syncToken).  [✓0 ✗0]
1. 403 quotaExceeded "Calendar usage limits exceeded." and userRateLimitExceeded / rateLimitExceeded: back off exponentially.  [✓0 ✗0]
2. 403 forbiddenForNonOrganizer: "Shared properties can only be changed by the organizer of the event." Sending insert/import/update without shared properties counts as setting them to defaults.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
On 410 discard the syncToken and run a full sync; on quota/rate errors back off exponentially; for forbiddenForNonOrganizer use patch with only the fields you change (not update/insert that resets shared properties), or act as the organizer.
```
