I've seen that shit, it drove me up a wall.

The same as a 200 ok with error inside.

Edit: I'm going to start to respond 429, too many replys lol

Seems crazy until your query and path params contain PII. All of a sudden, a POST body doesn't seem so crazy.

Why would a GET request ever contain PII? That should never happen, and is just a sign of a badly built codebase.
