Rate Limiting Troubleshooting Manual
When encountering a 429 error, the traditional approach requires a manual login to each vendor platform to view the quota.One Balance provides an automated diagnostic tool chain:
- Real-time Dashboard: The AI Gateway tab of the Cloudflare console directly displays the request success rate, error type distribution
- Intelligent Cooling System: automatic handling based on error type (Google AI Studio's day quota errors are cooled down for 24 hours, minute errors are cooled down to the next time window)
- error tracing: Search for the "Rate Limited" field in the Worker log to locate the model and key that triggered the rate limit.
- backup strategy: Configure automatic fallback to alternate vendor API when primary vendor limits flow
Operational Recommendations: 1) Maintain a reserve of at least 3 available keys 2) Set separate flow-limiting thresholds for high-frequency use models 3) Implement multi-vendor fallback logic for important business flows.
