From 150616c1a14dff39369dcd33216c0587370dfa8f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Cursor Agent Date: Mon, 11 May 2026 22:43:00 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/29] feat(exceptions): add RateLimitErrorCategory + headers/detail fields on RateLimitError LiteLLM previously surfaced rate-limit conditions through several unrelated error classes (RateLimitError, FastAPI HTTPException(429), BaseLLMException). This commit adds the data model needed to consolidate them under a single class: * RateLimitErrorCategory enum exposing four categorical values (vendor_rate_limit, vendor_batch_rate_limit, litellm_rate_limit, litellm_batch_rate_limit) so callers can switch on the rate-limit source. * New optional fields on RateLimitError: - category (defaults to vendor_rate_limit, preserving today's behavior for every existing call site in exception_mapping_utils); - headers (preserves retry-after / rate_limit_type / reset_at across the proxy boundary instead of dropping them on the floor); - detail (mirrors FastAPI HTTPException.detail so the same instance can be serialized through both paths). litellm.RateLimitErrorCategory is re-exported at the package root to match the existing exception-export pattern.

Why both bases: * Subclassing RateLimitError lets user code catch every rate-limit source with one 'except RateLimitError' and switch on the new .category field. * Subclassing HTTPException keeps every existing FastAPI plumbing path (the isinstance(e, HTTPException) branches in proxy_server.py route handlers, FastAPI's own dispatcher, and tests asserting pytest.raises(HTTPException)) working without modification, and preserves retry-after / rate_limit_type / reset_at headers on the wire. The class declaration order is (HTTPException, RateLimitError) so the MRO puts HTTPException's no-super-call __init__ ahead of openai's cooperative __init__ chain — preventing openai.APIError.super().__init__(message) from landing in HTTPException.__init__(status_code=message).

Why: the .category attribute is reachable off the raw exception today via getattr(e, 'category', None), but the structured contract that downstream custom callbacks / loggers / spend log writers consume is the StandardLoggingPayload. Without this field, a user building custom rate-limit metrics on top of callback data has to special-case the raw exception object — which defeats the purpose of the StandardLoggingPayload abstraction. The field is None for non-rate-limit exceptions (so consumers can read it unconditionally without isinstance checks) and is one of the RateLimitErrorCategory string values otherwise.

Previously, when RateLimitError was constructed with only a 'response=' (no explicit 'headers=' kwarg), self.headers fell back to a copy of response.headers. If a downstream proxy serializer ever forwarded e.headers to the client, a malicious upstream could inject browser-interpreted headers for the proxy origin. Drop the fallback. Only headers passed explicitly via the headers= kwarg make it onto self.headers (proxy hooks pass retry-after etc. — they control what's surfaced). Vendor response headers stay reachable on e.response.headers for callers that explicitly want them. Today's proxy_server.py route handlers don't actually forward e.headers on the wire (they construct ProxyException without passing headers), so no current behavior changes — this is a defensive narrowing so the fallback can never be turned into a vector when someone wires e.headers through later.

Add an `UNKNOWN_RATE_LIMIT` enum value and switch the default to it. Explicit category is now required at every callsite for correct labeling; the new default is an honest "unknown" sentinel rather than a vendor assumption, so future omissions surface in dashboards as `unknown_rate_limit` instead of becoming a confidently-wrong vendor label.

Updated: - `litellm_core_utils/exception_mapping_utils.py` — all 22 vendor mapping raises (the central choke point that converts upstream provider exceptions to litellm exceptions). - `llms/anthropic/experimental_pass_through/messages/utils.py` — vendor mock raise. - `main.py` — `mock_response="litellm.RateLimitError"` test mock, which simulates an upstream 429 (carries `llm_provider`). No behavior change for vendor flows — these all previously inherited the `VENDOR_RATE_LIMIT` default and now declare it explicitly. Regression test in tests/test_litellm/test_rate_limit_category_router_side.py pins this.

Dashboards (Prometheus `rate_limit_category` label, StandardLoggingPayload `error_rate_limit_category` field) attributed the failure to the upstream provider when in fact litellm's own router decided the request couldn't proceed. Pass an explicit `category=LITELLM_RATE_LIMIT` and a `rate_limit_type=` (REQUESTS for RPM checks, TOKENS for TPM checks) at every router-side raise: - `router_strategy/lowest_tpm_rpm_v2.py` — 5 raises (sync + async pre-call checks, both their redis-overrun branches, and the terminal no-deployments-available raise in the common-checks helper). All RPM, type=REQUESTS. - `router_utils/pre_call_checks/model_rate_limit_check.py` — 4 raises split between TPM (TOKENS) and RPM (REQUESTS) for the `enforce_model_rate_limits` pre-call check. These are LiteLLM's own throttles, distinct from the proxy-side hooks (already correctly labeled by #27687) and from upstream-provider 429s (handled by the explicit-category pass on `exception_mapping_utils`).

The new UNKNOWN_RATE_LIMIT enum value exists, is exported on the litellm module, and is the default for RateLimitError(...) constructions that omit category=. Also update the existing test_rate_limit_error_unification regression that asserted the old vendor_rate_limit default — it now asserts the new unknown_rate_limit default and documents why. 2. The router-side throttles in lowest_tpm_rpm_v2 and pre_call_checks/model_rate_limit_check carry category=LITELLM_RATE_LIMIT and the right rate_limit_type= (REQUESTS for RPM checks, TOKENS for TPM checks). Mocked at the cache-call boundary so the raise fires deterministically. 3. The vendor mock in anthropic.experimental_pass_through.messages keeps VENDOR_RATE_LIMIT after Step 2's explicit-category pass, and 3 representative branches of exception_mapping_utils.exception_type (string-match, anthropic 429, replicate 429) still produce category=VENDOR_RATE_LIMIT end-to-end — proving Step 2 didn't miss any vendor raise.
