Understand and handle OpenRouter rate limits effectively. Use when building high-throughput systems. Trigger with phrases like 'openrouter rate limit', 'openrouter 429', 'openrouter throttle', 'request limits'.

This skill covers OpenRouter's rate limiting behavior, how to read rate limit headers, and implementing retry strategies that respect limits.

|---|---|---|
| 429 Too Many Requests | Exceeded requests-per-minute or tokens-per-minute limit | Use exponential backoff with jitter; respect Retry-After header |
| Retry storm | Multiple clients retrying simultaneously | Add random jitter (0-1s) to each retry delay |
| Silent throttling | Responses slow down before 429 | Monitor response latency; proactively reduce request rate when latency increases |
