That is a permanent error; automation that tries to access it will, and *rightly so*, report a permanent failure. It cannot be relied upon in any way. It would be "working, kinda" if it returned a 500 or 502 error, signaling temporary failure (likely due to overload), with a decent change of getting a 200 with what you want. I would consider it working if you could get a 200 more than 99% of the time, and the occasional 50x; a 404 is just no. -- Laurent
