|---|---|---|
401 | Missing or invalid API key. | Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_LLMAPI_KEY and check the key is active. |
429 | Rate limited, or the upstream provider is throttling the request. | Back off and retry with jitter; the gateway also retries the request on another provider where one is available. |
5xx | Upstream provider error or timeout. | Retry; fallback routing sends the retry to the next healthy provider for this model. |
When a provider fails or throttles, the request is routed to the next provider serving this model — the ones listed in the providers table above.
