claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Ultrareview: free credit consumed despite rate-limit failure (no report produced) [2 comments, 3 participants]

API Error: Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit) · Rate limited

TL;DR

The issue can be mitigated by implementing a retry mechanism that checks for server-side rate limiting errors and refrains from deducting credits in such cases.

Guidance

• Verify that the API error message "Server is temporarily limiting requests (not your usage limit) · Rate limited" is correctly handled by the application to prevent credit deduction.
• Check the Claude Code documentation for any existing retry mechanisms or configuration options that can be used to handle server-side rate limiting.
• Consider implementing a custom retry logic that checks for the specific error message and skips credit deduction if the error is due to server-side rate limiting.
• Review the credit deduction logic to ensure it is correctly tied to the production of review findings, rather than the initiation of the review process.

Example

No code example can be provided without more information about the Claude Code API and its implementation.

Notes

The solution may require modifications to the Claude Code application or the implementation of a custom retry mechanism. The exact implementation details will depend on the specific requirements and constraints of the application.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing a custom retry mechanism that handles server-side rate limiting errors and prevents credit deduction in such cases. This approach allows for a targeted fix without requiring an upgrade to a potentially non-existent fixed version.
