What it covers: 429 handling, exponential backoff, timeouts, and safe retry limits
Page: Retries and Idempotency
Cost and capacity controls
Use the controls documented elsewhere in the docs to keep workloads predictable:
- Dedicated status page: Each Dedicated Instance has a status page for viewing deployment status and controlling the endpoint. See Dedicated Instances.
- Pause to stop billing: Dedicated Instances bill while active. Pause an endpoint when it isn't needed, and use autoscaling settings to control replica counts. See Auto-Scaling.
- GPU quota: The default GPU quota limits the amount of Batch and Dedicated capacity an organization can consume. See Limits and quotas.
- Batch status: Track batch jobs in the Batch UI or poll status through the API. See Batch Troubleshooting.
