claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [Bug] Anthropic API Error: Service temporarily limiting requests on Claude Opus and Claude 3.5 Sonnet [1 comments, 2 participants]

[{"error":"Error: 429 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"rate_limit_error","message":"Error"},"request_id":"req_011CaW5bsyQAPY47YpHM2qUU"}\n at generate (/$bunfs/root/src/entrypoints/cli.js:11:57194)\n at makeRequest (/$bunfs/root/src/entrypoints/cli.js:50:4943)\n at processTicksAndRejections (native:7:39)","timestamp":"2026-04-28T11:20:41.596Z"}]

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a rate limit error from the server, and a workaround may involve implementing a retry mechanism with a delay between requests.

Guidance

• The error message indicates a rate limit error, suggesting that the server is temporarily limiting requests, which may not be related to the user's usage limit.
• To verify the issue, check the request frequency and volume to ensure it's within the expected limits.
• Consider implementing a retry mechanism with a delay between requests to mitigate the rate limit error.
• Review the API documentation to understand the rate limiting policy and adjust the request strategy accordingly.

Example

// Example of a simple retry mechanism with a delay
function makeRequestWithRetry(retries = 3, delay = 500) {
  let attempt = 0;
  while (attempt < retries) {
    try {
      // Make the request
      const response = makeRequest();
      return response;
    } catch (error) {
      if (error.code === 429) {
        // Wait for the specified delay before retrying
        await new Promise(resolve => setTimeout(resolve, delay));
        attempt++;
      } else {
        throw error;
      }
    }
  }
  throw new Error('Maximum retries exceeded');
}

Notes

The provided example is a basic illustration of a retry mechanism and may need to be adapted to the specific use case and requirements.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implement a retry mechanism with a delay between requests to mitigate the rate limit error, as the root cause of the issue appears to be related to server-side rate limiting.
