Curious Obmil examines three clearly separated illuminated diagnostic paths inside a brass-and-crystal crossroads — Decode the cause before choosing the response.

MATCH THESE VISIBLE STRINGS

429 Too Many Requests
rate_limit_exceeded
quota exceeded
Too many provider requests. Try again later.

LIKELY CAUSES

Too many boxes launched at once for the provider account
Provider tokens-per-minute or requests-per-minute limit
Insufficient provider credit or daily quota
Repeated retries inside DecaCap’s one-minute request window

NEVER DO THIS

Do not build an automatic tight retry loop
Do not assume a 429 means the key is invalid

SMALLEST DIAGNOSTIC FIRST

Repair sequence

01

Wait for the stated window

02

Run fewer boxes against that provider concurrently

03

Mix providers or a local model when appropriate

04

Check the provider account’s quota and funding

05

Retry only after the limiting window resets
