On HTTP 429 from the Anthropic API, you should:

BSwitch to a different model permanently
CWait with exponential backoff + jitter
DCancel the request and alert the user
Answer & Solution

429 = rate limit. Best practice: exponential backoff (1s, 2s, 4s...) with random jitter to avoid thundering-herd retries.
