Identify 400-request with ajax

I'm having the following problem:

I am grabbing tweets from twitter, using their API. Whenever I've hit the limit of requests, it is returning me a 400 (Bad request) - reply.

Now, how can I find out whether a 400-reply was returned? The callback 'Error' isn't triggered.

        $.ajax({
            url: 'http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline/' + Followed[Index] + '.json?count=' + Tweetlimit + '&include_rts=true',
            dataType: 'jsonp', 
            success: function (json) {
                $.each(json, function (index, tweet) {
                    var date = Date.parse(tweet.created_at);
                    Tweets.created_at = date.toString('hh.mm.ss - dd/MM/yy');
                    Tweets.created_as_date = date;
                    Tweets.push(tweet);
                })
                CompletedUsers = CompletedUsers + 1;
            },
            error: function () {
                alert("Error");
            },

        });

success is called when request succeeds. error is called when request fails. So, in your case, request succeeded and success is called. Now, if you want to respond to specific codes, you should follow this example in addition to your code:

$.ajax({
  statusCode: {
    404: function() {
      alert("page not found");
    }
  }
});
