LLM API rate-limiting bug fixed in live assistant

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer encountered an issue where their live assistant repeatedly sent requests to rate-limited LLM APIs, causing instability. The problem stemmed from a bug where the cooldown logic, intended to prevent excessive API calls, was not being correctly applied to the streaming path of requests. This resulted in the application continuing to hammer providers like Google and OpenRouter even after receiving rate-limiting errors (HTTP 429). The fix involved consolidating the cooldown logic into a single function that correctly handles HTTP errors and exceptions, ensuring that providers are skipped for appropriate durations after hitting their limits.
