Really?
b. The authorizations are changed as a result of a successful
re-authentication. In this case, the Service Unavailable (15)
termination cause is used. For accounting purposes, the portion
of the session after the authorization change is treated as a
separate session.
It would be quite reasonable to interpret change of user credentials as
change of authorization.
