Avoid XMLHttpRequest console logging in case of error

Question

I have an XMLHttpRequest to an external service that sometimes answer with a "429 - Too many requests" response. I would like to avoid having the error logged in the Chrome console by catching or managing the response.

I've tried both adding an EventListener on "error"

function doNothing(e) {
  return
}

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.addEventListener('error', doNothing);

And try catching the request

try {
  request.send(JSON.stringify(payload));
} catch(err){
  // do nothing
}

But the log still appears
