How can I track my remaining Vast.ai API capacity?

The skill includes a RateLimitMonitor class that parses X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset headers to provide real-time visibility into your current usage.

Does this skill support different Vast.ai subscription tiers?

Yes, it includes logic to handle the specific requests-per-minute and daily limits for Free (60/min), Pro (300/min), and Enterprise (1,000/min) tiers.

What is the benefit of using exponential backoff with Vast.ai?

It prevents overwhelming the Vast.ai API by progressively increasing the wait time between retries after a 429 error, using jitter to avoid synchronized requests from multiple clients.

How does this skill handle idempotency for Vast.ai requests?

It provides a pattern for generating deterministic keys from your request parameters, ensuring that retried operations don't create duplicate instances or duplicate billing actions.

Cloud Infrastructure

Implements resilient rate limiting, exponential backoff, and idempotency patterns for Vast.ai API integrations.

About

The Vast.ai Rate Limit Manager is a specialized skill designed to help developers build robust and reliable integrations with the Vast.ai GPU marketplace. It provides implementation-ready patterns for exponential backoff with randomized jitter, deterministic idempotency keys for safe retries, and real-time monitoring of rate limit headers. By automating the handling of 429 Throttling errors and optimizing request throughput across different subscription tiers, this skill ensures that your infrastructure orchestration remains stable and efficient even during high-concurrency operations.
