Ah, yes, the "I'm a teapot" status. Awesome! :-)

4xx seems more appropriate for sure. I'd say 400, 420, or 429 feel closest.

For us lazy people: https://http.dev/418

#6I’m going to bet that every 999 could be defined more accurately using an existing code.
For me, if the server cannot specifically tell you what kind of error happened, it’s by definition a 500.
My API is internal, but it’s been nice to consider, “all 500-level errors are my team’s problem to fix or represent more accurately as a 400-level.”

#7I've never realized that http status 999 was a thing. I've often used 401 to tell user something similar to "denied"...which i get is different in that "unauthorized" (for 401) is the browser telling the user, while i suppose 999 would be the server telling the client to tell the user a generic "denied"...so there's a difference there, but a little nuanced i suppose. I guess TIL.

#8> When sending an HTTP GET or HEAD request to LinkedIn for a specific profile [...]
> It will also be returned if there are too many HTTP requests in a single day. This is similar to the HTTP 429 Too Many Requests error message.
Similar? That is excatly what 429 was made for, or not? This is weird or just lazy.

It’s not. That code does not conform to any standard.

#10Reminds me of a similar one that only Shopify uses https://http.dev/430
It says it’s deprecated but we still get them from their API from time to time.
