### Overview

Delete a routing rule. Referenced rules require force=true. Surviving tiers keep their ordering and weights. A deletion that would rewrite a surviving tier with an unknown ordering_issue fails with HTTP 409 and code routing_rule_unknown_ordering until that rule is replaced or deleted.

This endpoint requires the `ai_gateway_config_write` permission.

OAuth apps require the `ai_gateway_config_write` authorization [scope](https://docs.datadoghq.com/api/latest/scopes.md#ai-gateway) to access this endpoint.
