}Use server-side failover so one provider outage does not break your feature, and keep a simple client retry with backoff for network errors.
The platform tracks errors per provider. After repeated failures the circuit opens and traffic goes to a backup model; it is tested again later before traffic returns.
Your code catches errors and retries the same provider, usually with exponential backoff.
Retrying the same provider during an outage just waits longer before failing, and during rate limiting it can make things worse. A circuit breaker notices the pattern and switches to another provider until the first one recovers.
No. Credits are only reserved during the call and are released if the request fails.
