What this skill does
Retell AI Rate Limits Overview Implementation patterns for Retell AI rate limits — voice agent and telephony platform. Prerequisites Completed retellai-install-auth setup Instructions Step 1: SDK Pattern Output Retell AI integration for rate limits Error Handling Error Cause Solution ------- ------- ---------- 401 Unauthorized Invalid API key Check RETELLAPIKEY 429 Rate Limited Too many requests Implement backoff 400 Bad Request Invalid parameters Check API documentation Examples Handle a burst without retrying calls indefinitely When the API returns a rate-limit response, place only the idempotent request metadata in a bounded queue and honor the provider retry guidance before the next attempt. Track queue age, retry count, and error class; do not retry an ambiguous call-creation request until its call identifier is checked. Alert an operator when the queue age exceeds the service target, and shed nonessential work rather than allowing retries to amplify the burst.
