An AI model's rate limits must include all necessary bypasses.
If one part of the system has a bypass and another part does not, the system can fail. This causes unexpected rejections for the user.
A developer sets limits on how many requests an AI model can handle. These are called rate limits. Sometimes, a developer adds a special rule to ignore these limits for certain requests. This is a bypass. If one part of the AI model uses this bypass, but another part does not, problems happen. For example, a check for too many ongoing requests might not have the bypass. This check will stop requests even if the main rate limit allows them. The user will see "Too many requests" errors. This happens even when the developer set the overall rate limits very high. The system is not working as expected.
A developer sets up an AI model. The developer adds a rule to ignore rate limits for requests coming from the same computer. This is a localhost bypass. However, a different part of the code checks how many requests are running at the same time. This part does not have the localhost bypass. A user makes a request. The request takes a few seconds. The user clicks again before the first request finishes. The concurrency check sees too many requests. It rejects the new request. The user gets an error, even though the main rate limit allows more requests.
