This means a that a bot checking for the existence of a user encounters an error with a host, e.g. JBS, it will think the user doesn't exist and take actions based on that assumption. This would be correct if the server response was 404, but in all other cases, it would be better if the WorkItem failed to be automatically retried later.

Thanks for the clarification.
