Bad Request-- Headers too long?

ArisAries · Jul 16, 2019

Recently, my Xbox username was forcibly changed, and now I've been trying to go and change it back. Although it seems like I can't do that, because every time I try and find a way to change it or go on my account on the Xbox live website, I get
this error: Bad Request, Request too long (Error 400). I seriously want to change my username asap but it isn't letting me. Anyone know what to do? I'm also pretty sure my cookies are cleared.

If the change Was made through the system you won't be able to change it back to your old one cause it is probably against the rules for gamertags.

Have you tried to change it with another browser or on another device?

Hello

When a forced gamertag change occurs you will have to purchase a new gamertag through the standard process, however, the old gamertag will not be obtainable. You can read about the policy on theenforcement
website.

Keep in mind, the gamertag cannot resemble/hint/sound like any of the following:

Profane words or phrases
Topics or content of a sexual nature
Hate speech
Controversial religious topics
Notorious people or organizations
Sensitive current or historical events

If your having difficulty with changing to a new tag (that isn't your old one) please let us know and we will look at what troubleshooting options might be available to you.

Best of luck!

You can change your name one time for free via the new gamertag system. Just note, if you try to change back to your old one or a more offensive ine it will be change again by enforcement.https://social.xbox.com/en-us/changegamertag

If your on your Xbox try restarting it by holding the Xbox button on your Xbox for 10 seconds. If your on a laptop/Pc try rebooting it and then try to change it again.

If it was forcibly changed why would you want to change it back? It will just be changed again.
