Rate limits & capacity
One qualified GitHub discussion points to this friction. Use the plan below to test it with practitioners before building.
Where this need appears
Each item below is a public, qualified GitHub discussion. The Radar groups related friction, while the original Issue remains available for source checking.
- feat(clients): map HTTP 429 to a dedicated RateLimitError with retry_aftercaura-ai/caura · 2 comments · 0 positive reactions
Turn the signal into one observable action
Add one narrow guardrail, retry or recovery path around the failing step. Replay three real failure cases and compare recovery time.
The same failure is recovered faster in three real cases without creating a new incident.
Ask before you build
- Show me the last failure and its logs.
- What triggered it and how often does it recur?
- How do you detect it today?
- What does recovery require?
- What would a safe failure look like?
Professional guardrail: Measure citation accuracy, coverage and review time; never reward speed at the expense of source fidelity.
