Validation

The request body is validated for the following conditions:

If the number of TaskQueueSIDs in the request body is less than 1 or exceeds 50, an HTTP 400 error is returned.
If the request body contains invalid TaskQueueSIDs, an HTTP 400 error is returned.
If the request body includes valid TaskQueueSIDs that are not part of this account, these TaskQueueSIDs are included in the response but with zero values for all statistics.
