What this error means

A 529 overloaded_error is server-side back-pressure from Anthropic during demand spikes. It is transient.

  • Retry with exponential backoff and jitter
  • Fail over to another provider on repeated 529s
  • Cap concurrency during known peak windows

Frequently asked

Why 529 and not 503?

Anthropic uses 529 specifically for capacity overload; treat it like a retryable 503.
