This is a guide on how to fix the 022-2402 error code on Nintendo 3DS when linking a PNID.

Hang on, before you resolve this, the Pretendo team are looking for dumps specifically when you don't get an error code in friends list. Follow the instructions to start getting HTTP packets captured and reproduce the steps you took to get error code 022-2402. When you finished capturing the dump, send the necessary files privately using the /upload-network-dump http
command on the Pretendo Discord server or send it privately to @PN_Jon
on the forum (please only send it to this account).
If you need any assistance with this, feel free to ask a staff member on the Pretendo Discord or forums.
