API rate limit planner

Map request bursts, retries, queues, and fallback behavior before rate limits become outages.

Fast answerA request budget with peak QPS, retry policy, queue rules, and degraded-mode behavior.

Inputs

What to collect

Peak users	Expected concurrent users or jobs during the busiest window.
Requests per workflow	Model calls, tool calls, retries, embeddings, and moderation calls.
Fallback tolerance	Whether the user can wait, receive partial output, or switch models.

Method

How to use it

1	Calculate peak requests per minute from workflows, not average traffic.
2	Cap retries so failures do not multiply the incident.
3	Define degraded output before the first limit event.

Output

How to read the result

Interactive apps	Backoff plus fallback	Protect user experience when a vendor slows down.
Batch jobs	Queue and pace	Use controlled throughput instead of parallel retry storms.
Critical paths	Multiple lanes	Separate high-priority work from background generation.

Thresholds

Useful vs risky

Healthy	Load tests include retries and vendor-specific quota limits.
Risky	The design assumes every failed request can retry immediately.

AI Modelsai model cost calculator

AI model cost calculator

Use this before choosing a default model. The useful answer is not the cheapest token price; it is the cheapest solved task with acceptable latency and failure rate.

AI Modelsllm context window planner

LLM context window planner

Long context helps only when the model still follows instructions near the end of the prompt. This planner forces a fit check before a bigger context tier becomes the easy answer.

AI Modelsprompt routing savings estimator

Prompt routing savings estimator

Routing is useful when easy prompts are common and failure is observable. It is wasteful when every task is rare, expert, or hard to classify.

AI Modelsinference latency budget planner

Inference latency budget planner

A fast model can still feel slow if retrieval, tool calls, retries, and post-processing are not budgeted. This planner keeps the whole user path visible.

AI Modelsmodel eval sample size planner

Model eval sample size planner

Small evals can still be useful if they are realistic and repeated. This tool makes the sample deliberate: enough cases to catch regression, not so many that no one maintains it.

AI Toolsrag chunk size planner

RAG chunk size planner

Chunking is not a magic number. The right size depends on the shape of the source and whether the model needs local detail, full sections, or cross-document synthesis.

AI Toolsembedding storage cost estimator

Embedding storage cost estimator

Embedding cost is rarely just the first import. Refresh cycles, duplicate content, metadata, backups, and permission filters decide whether the system stays manageable.

AI Toolsapi rate limit planner

API rate limit planner

Rate limits are product constraints. This planner helps choose batching, backoff, queueing, and multi-model fallback before launch traffic teaches the lesson.
