This happened to me a lot of times (mainly when CFW for 5.0.2 was released). i don't remember the error code.

In the most general of senses, you generated an error report much like how you would during normal Switch usage except that it was caused by a program that should not be on the Switch. If you connect your console online, that error report will be sent to Nintendo and they can flag you for a ban. Running nx-dreport might get rid of it, but firmwares 5.X are able to track if error logs are being deleted.

I've also had a couple of homebrew related error codes, the type where you have to restart your system. I don't remember what the codes were but they occurred on 5.0.1, 5.0.2, and 5.1.0 and I have not been banned as of right now.

Usually I attach a source for these types of things but I guess it slipped my mind
