TL;DR

The issue may be resolved by checking the rate limiting configuration and ensuring that the free run is not being consumed when the server returns a "not your usage limit" error.

Guidance

  • Verify that the API error "Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit)" is correctly handled by the application, and that it does not consume a free run in this case.
  • Check the documentation for the Anthropic API to see if there are any specific guidelines for handling rate limiting errors.
  • Investigate if there are any configuration options in Claude Code to control how rate limiting errors are handled.
  • Consider reaching out to the Anthropic API support team to clarify their rate limiting policies and how they should be handled by clients.

Notes

The issue seems to be related to how the application handles rate limiting errors from the Anthropic API. Without more information about the API's rate limiting policies and how the application is configured, it's difficult to provide a more specific solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Modify the application to handle the "not your usage limit" error in a way that does not consume a free run, until a more permanent solution can be found.
