See https://serversmtp.com/smtp-error/ , https://www.arclab.com/en/kb/email/smtp-response-codes-error-messages.html ("SMTP Error 451") et al.
451 is one of many SMTP response codes. The MTA understands the initial error code and the other text is for your benefit. Essentially 400s are generic info/error responses with extra info in somewhat arbitrary human-readable form. Per RFC1893 and RFC2034 a 451 error is considered a "Persistent Transient Failure" (I think of them akin to a soft fail, with implicit suggestion to retry later) whereas 500 series errors are 'hard' (permanent) failures. Greylisting uses 4xx responses to make the sending MTA to retry, per SMTP spec. Check your server IP's reputation, as this kind of rate limiting typically happens when you're sending email to spam honeypots, lots of recipients are flagging as spam or your IP is in a 'bad neighbourhood'. Open a ticket with MS deliverability team if you feel the block or rate limit is in error, however they won't work miracles and they won't go into any detail as to the specifics of why your IP is being rate limited in the first place. A lot of it seems algorithmic or based on ML, which can occasionally get it wrong.

Also use the RBL checkers to see if you're on blacklists, that will definitely affect deliverability. MultiRBL.valli.org, http://www.anti-abuse.org/multi-rbl-check/ and https://rblwatcher.com/ are useful.
