recipients: Iterable[Recipient]
Deprecatedaccount_id: Optional[str]
This field has been renamed to `recipient_account_id`. Both names are accepted during the deprecation period.

Deprecated alias for recipient_account_id. Use recipient_account_id instead. The body field collided with the URL path parameter of the same name, which prevented SDK generators from distinguishing the source account (in the URL) from the recipient account (in the body). Both names will continue to be accepted until 2027-05-26 (see x-sunset).
