AI API Error: Rate Limit Exceeded (429)

Error: 429 Too Many Requests. Your organization has exceeded the GPT-5-Turbo rate limit.

What does this error mean?

As AI agents become more recursive, they often hit the rate limits set by providers (OpenAI, Anthropic). A 429 error means you are sending too many requests or too many tokens per minute (TPM/RPM) for your current billing tier.

Common Causes

AI Agents stuck in a recursive tool-calling loop
Concurrent batch processing without a request queue
Insufficient account balance or Tier 1 limitations

How to Fix It (2 Solutions)

Implement Exponential Backoff

Don't just retry immediately. Use a library like 'p-retry' to wait longer between subsequent failures.

Code

import pRetry from 'p-retry';
await pRetry(() => callGPT5(), { retries: 5 });

Check Token Usage

Use our **Token Counter** to see if you are sending massive redundant system prompts that eat your TPM limit.
