Update Device Activity

This API is used to update the device activity.

Important Note:

If the value of device_management is set to 1, which means that the system is enabled. This configuration is obtained from the server at the endpoint /api/base/configs. The system will remain enabled until you explicitly disable it.

On the other hand, if the value device_management is anything other than 1, the system is considered disabled.

To provide a seamless user experience, it is essential to handle the error message display only when the device_banned status code is received. In all other cases, no error code should impact the user experience. Prioritizing a smooth user interaction, avoid unnecessary interruptions or error messages for non-banned devices.

Furthermore, to maintain an uninterrupted user experience, verifying that the device has an active internet connection is recommended before sending these requests. If the internet is not connected, refrain from sending these requests to prevent any adverse effects on the user experience.
