Intelligent Protection Mechanisms Explained
One Balance employs a multi-layered protection strategy to prevent API key blocking.
- Request Distribution Algorithm
- Automatically distribute API calls evenly across all available keys
- Dynamically adjust the weights according to the remaining quota of each key
- Cloudflare proxy layer
- All requests are forwarded through the AI Gateway
- Hide the original API key and expose only the proxy endpoints
- Condition Monitoring System
- Real-time monitoring of the usage status of each key
- Automatic recognition of error responses such as 429 (speed limit)
- cooling mechanism
- Automatically sets the key to Cooling Down state after triggering current limit.
- Setting different cooling time by error type (minute level/day level)
In addition, the system persistently stores the status of each key through the D1 database to ensure that the protection status is maintained even if the service is restarted. Users are recommended to check the request logs of Cloudflare console regularly to detect and handle abnormal situations in time.
