TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by adjusting the request handling to prevent overloading the API, potentially by implementing rate limiting or exponential backoff.

Guidance

• Investigate the generate function at cli.js:11:51730 to understand how requests are being made and if there's a way to limit the frequency or volume of requests to prevent overloading.
• Examine the makeRequest function at cli.js:50:4942 to see if there are any existing mechanisms for handling request failures or aborts that could be improved.
• Consider implementing a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle temporary overloads or request aborts.
• Review the API documentation for any guidelines on rate limiting or best practices for making requests to prevent overloading.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but a general approach to handling retries with exponential backoff might involve a function that waits increasingly longer periods of time between retries.

Notes

The exact solution will depend on the specifics of the API being called and the requirements of the application. The provided error messages suggest issues with request overloading and aborts, but without more information about the application's logic and the API's expectations, it's difficult to provide a more detailed fix.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing rate limiting or exponential backoff to prevent overloading the API, as this approach can help mitigate the issue without requiring significant changes to the underlying application logic.
