Best Way to Handle Rate Limits in OpenAI API Applications?

Hi everyone,

I’m building an application that makes frequent API requests and I’m looking for best practices to handle rate limits efficiently. Are you using retries with exponential backoff, request queues, or some other strategy?

I’d appreciate any recommendations from developers who have solved this problem in production environments.

Welcome to the community, @andrewweston .

Have you checked the docs? There’s a great guide for handling rate limits.

We’ve got a few threads here too.
