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. |
