Exponential backoff is suitable for handling transient errors, but it is of limited effect against rate-limiting (429) errors and may instead prolong request occupancy time.

UnverifiedA 429 (Too Many Requests) error indicates the rate limit or quota has been exceeded, and usually requires waiting.79% similarUnverifiedQuota errors should not be retried, whereas rate limit errors can be retried.79% similarUnverifiedOpenAI's 429 errors may be caused by rate limiting or quota exhaustion, and quota exhaustion errors (such as insufficient_quota) should not be retried.78% similarUnverifiedExponential backoff is a strategy in which the client progressively lengthens the waiting interval when retrying failed requests, mainly addressing two types of problems: rate limiting (HTTP 429) and brief unavailability of downstream services; compared with fixed-interval retries, it can significantly reduce pressure on services that are already overloaded.76% similarUnverifiedA common engineering combination: perform a limited number of exponential backoff retries for 5xx and timeouts, and directly trigger degradation for 429 and persistent elevated errors.76% similar
