A blocking invocation request will _wait_ for the activation result to be
available. The wait period
is the lesser of 60 seconds or the action's configured
[time limit](reference.md#per-action-timeout-ms-default-60s).
-The result of the activation is returned if it is available within the wait
period.
-Otherwise, the activation continues processing in the system and an activation
ID is returned
-so that one may check for the result later, as with non-blocking requests
-(see [here](#watching-action-output) for tips on monitoring activations).
+The result of the action is successfully returned if it is available within
the wait period.
+Otherwise, the result is an error caused by the action timeout and the
response status is _application error_.
Review comment:
This is about blocking invocation. Here's my test:
`wsk action create sleep tests/dat/actions/sleep.js -t 100`
`wsk action invoke sleep --param sleepTimeInMs 1100 --blocking`
The response code is 502 and response itself is:
`ok: invoked /guest/sleep with id 75043a3d2eec4556843a3d2eec855620
