429 rate limit or quota exceeded

Either DecaCap’s short-window abuse control or the upstream provider’s account quota rejected the request.

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
