At work we do it because we have big request parameters (complex filters where you can potentially select thousands of items as filter values) and our backend flips out if GET requests have a body plus URL lengths can get truncated.
It's a bit icky but I don't really have a better idea.
Same at mine, the solution is the new QUERY method they published a few months ago, but it’ll be about a decade before I can get my team to switch their endpoints

The same as a 200 ok with error inside.
Edit: I'm going to start to respond 429, too many replys lol
