    I'm confused. The question asks about the severity below 10, yet the link to documentation address the severity level of 10.

    So is there a special meaning to severity levels 0-9?

    Error messages with a severity level of 10 are informational. Error messages with severity levels from 11 through 16 are generated by the user and can be corrected by the user. Severity levels from 17 and 18 are generated by resource or system errors; the user's session is not interrupted.

    This may be a better resource.
