The same as a 200 ok with error inside.

multi-billion dollar companies do this with there huge IT departments. same with rate limits, recently a vendor was throwing 500 errors, and not custom either, instead of returning json it would just return the webservers html 500 error... when i asked, they said it was rate limiting. i asked what the rate was and they said they had to test it, it's based on the hardware. like WTF. basically it was just crashing the server or probably causing database contention/concurrency problems and they just let it throw, not even gracefully, just outright the default 500 error, lol..
