Decision rules for handling API status codes: 200—log the token and hash; 429—log, back off, limit the number of attempts; 5xx—log, back off, limit the number of attempts; other 4xx—fail loudly, do not retry.

UnverifiedIn standard SDK implementations, when the API returns 429 or 5xx errors, retries are performed using an exponential backoff strategy with incrementally increasing intervals of 1, 2, 4, and 8 seconds, typically up to 3–5 retries.69% similarUnverifiedThe original article's scheme assigns weights to different failure categories: prompt injection failures weight 5, JSON formatting errors weight 3, multi-hop reasoning wrong answers weight 2, with the final score calculated on a weighted basis.62% similarUnverifiedSetting the concurrency too high easily triggers downstream API rate limiting, causing retries and backoff, which instead lengthens the total time; setting it too low fails to compress end-to-end latency.61% similarUnverifiedFor models billed by token, a malformed prompt risks unexpectedly generating a large number of tokens; engineering safeguards can be implemented as three layers: a hard max_tokens cap, client-side prompt length validation, and an API call timeout guard.61% similarUnverifiedBy default, Claude Code performs a limited number of retries when it encounters 429 or 529 errors, usually capped at 10, and then throws an error and terminates the session.61% similar
