error updating Akamai (Linode) VPC %q: %w

Error message

error updating Akamai (Linode) VPC %q: %w

What it means

VPC.RenderLinode wraps the linodego UpdateVPC error when applying label/description changes to an existing Akamai (Linode) VPC. It fires only when there are actual changes and the API rejects the update (invalid label, auth, rate limit), leaving the VPC divergent from spec.
