It's specifically targeting the response code and string you provided: 450
4.3.2 Please retry immediately

Unfortunately we cant make a rule that retries all 4xx and doesn't retry
all 5xx. Despite very smart, well intended people writing RFCs and other
specs that make this feel super clean cut in an acedemic or lab
environment, it's just not how it works in the wild. So we have rules that
sometimes collide with each other. An "obvious" erorr is often lost in a
sea of 30 million unique response codes and strings we see every single
day. Well-intended rules fall short of perfection. Your ~300 mishandled
messages per week is someone else's 300 million messages per week that are
properly handled. Don't delude yourself into thinking this is some zero sum
game where there are good guys and bad guys. Reality is rarely that simple.
But we are here to help if well can.
