API Error: Request rejected (429) · Rate limited

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to exceeding the rate limit of the Anthropic API, and implementing a rate limiting workaround or increasing the rate limit may resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Verify the current rate limit of the Anthropic API to understand the allowed request frequency.
• Implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff to handle rate limit errors (429) and reduce the request frequency.
• Consider caching responses to reduce the number of requests made to the API.
• Review the API documentation to see if there are any guidelines for increasing the rate limit or optimizing requests.

Example

No code example is provided as the issue does not contain sufficient information about the implementation.

Notes

The issue lacks information about the previous working version and additional context, which might be helpful in identifying the root cause. The provided guidance is based on the assumption that the rate limit error is the primary cause of the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Implementing a rate limiting workaround, such as retry mechanisms and caching, is recommended to mitigate the issue until a more permanent solution can be found.
