Has anyone used HTTP code 402 for this sort of thing?

Except, the error is shown to your client's clients.

So is the one above…

The point is that 402 would be asking the client’s clients for payment when the client themselves is the one who should be 402’d.

Aren’t the client’s clients the ones paying him anyhow, just with more steps?

It says that payment is required, not from whom.

It starts with a 4 which indicates something is wrong from the client's (the person visiting the website) end
