 Hello,

 It seems to be the convention in core to simply have no action response
 when you attempt to execute the Bulk Actions and have no items selected.

 In #44081 the 44081.3.2.diff provided a concept for the error;
 {{{#!php
 <?php
 if ( empty( $request_ids ) ) {
     add_settings_error(
         'bulk_action',
         'bulk_action',
         __( 'There were no requests to act on.' )
     );
     return;
 }
 }}}

 Or it may be a better queue to simply disable the button when no
 checkboxes are checked. This avoids triggering the action in the first
 place.

 Thanks
