Anthropic Rate Limit Handler
Manages Anthropic API throughput by implementing rate limit tiers, exponential backoff, and token optimization strategies.
This skill provides comprehensive guidance and production-ready implementation patterns for handling Anthropic's rate limits within Claude Code projects. It equips developers with the tools to understand spend tiers, interpret API response headers, and implement robust error handling using both built-in SDK features and custom exponential backoff with jitter. By utilizing strategies like prompt caching, message batching, and proactive token counting, users can maximize throughput and minimize 429 Too Many Requests errors in their AI-powered applications.
