My understanding is that a 403 implies that the content is locked.
I'm pretty sure that I've been seeing this error even when no one else is editing.
Is this a known issue? What might cause this?
I can attest that in my case, no one else was editing the objects in question. Note, in my cases, the user was making changes to multiple blocks in Volto. When the 403 error is received, the user has to cancel their edits and start over. However, after the second try, the edits are accepted and saved. The problem is that first-time edits have a 50% failure rate, which is unacceptable.
Its hard telling users to go ahead and try, but if it fails just do the exact same thing again and it should work. (Isn't that the test for insanity?) We have found that saving incrementally (on a block-by-block basis) cuts down the failure rate. That's not a usable work-around, however.

@pigeonflight I'm surprised you haven't added an issue regarding your problem especially since you got no reply in over 1 month.
Please add an issue to Volto as this is cleary a bug but unless it's reported no one will know about it.
