WalkthroughRelay retries now exclude failed channels, rotate keys for rate-limited channels, apply parsed cooldowns, and adapt retry limits to available keys. Channel selection and group routing accept exclusions. Synchronous retries include the full 5xx range. The version is updated. ChangesAdaptive channel failover
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟠 High · up to The relay changes improve failover and retry behavior, but the current revision can still terminate the service during concurrent channel updates and can misroute requests when channel selection encounters an underlying database or cache error. These correctness and availability risks should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In `@model/ability.go`:
- Around line 69-83: The GetChannel function currently filters only abilities
loaded for the exact model, causing discovery to miss channels that match the
normalized model name. Before filterAbilitiesByRequestPathAndModel, apply the
same ratio_setting.FormatMatchingModelName(model) fallback used by
model/channel_cache.go when exact-model abilities produce no matches, and
preserve the existing ordering and empty-result behavior.
In `@model/channel_cache.go`:
- Around line 268-296: Update CountAvailableChannels in the cache-disabled
branch to replace per-ability GetChannelById calls with one batched channel
query using the distinct ChannelId values, selecting only fields needed to count
enabled keys rather than full key material. Preserve the existing fallback count
for missing channel records, deduplication, request-path filtering, and
normalized-model retry behavior.
In `@model/channel_cooldown_test.go`:
- Around line 11-174: Replace raw testing assertions in
model/channel_cooldown_test.go lines 11-174 with testify/require equivalents for
fatal checks, using require.True, require.False, require.Equal, require.NotNil,
or require.NoError as appropriate; use assert only for non-fatal checks, and add
the required import. In service/retry_after_test.go lines 10-116, replace every
t.Fatalf with testify/require assertions comparing expected values from
ParseRetryAfterSeconds, and add the required import.
In `@model/channel_failover_test.go`:
- Around line 50-210: Update model/channel_failover_test.go lines 50-210 to use
testify/require for NoError, Equal, Nil, and NotNil assertions in the channel
failover tests. Update controller/record_channel_failure_test.go lines 27-86 to
use require.True/False for exclusion checks and assert.Equal for counter checks.
Update controller/should_retry_test.go lines 45-73 to use require.False/True for
retry expectations and explicitly initialize retry status-code settings and
relevant test state instead of relying on global defaults.
- Around line 13-48: Update setupChannelCache to reset the channelKeyCooldown
global when initializing the fixture and restore its previous value in the
returned cleanup function, alongside the other cache globals, so tests reusing
channel IDs remain isolated and deterministic.
In `@relaykit/types/error.go`:
- Around line 127-144: Update NewAPIError.IsRateLimited to return true only when
StatusCode equals http.StatusTooManyRequests; remove the RetryAfterSeconds
condition so retry hints on 5xx or other responses cannot classify the error as
key-level rate limiting.

Fixes "no available channel" errors where healthy channels were never tried before the request failed. Three root causes addressed: 1. Retry no longer re-selects failed channels (QuantumNous#1) GetRandomSatisfiedChannel / GetChannel now take an excludeChannels set (channel IDs already tried this request). Selection is rewritten to be exclude-driven: group non-excluded candidates by priority, pick the highest tier that still has channels, weighted-random within it. Returns (nil,nil) when the pool is exhausted so the caller stops cleanly. The relay loop populates the set after each attempt. 2. Same-priority channels are all exhausted before descending (QuantumNous#6) Previously retry was a priority index, so same-priority siblings were skipped. Now every channel in a tier is tried first. 3. 504/524 timeouts fail over instead of aborting (QuantumNous#2) Removed the hardcoded always-skip guard from the sync relay path; AutomaticRetryStatusCodeRanges is now authoritative and defaults to the full 5xx range. The async task relay keeps its own timeout protection to avoid duplicate submits. 4. Adaptive retry budget (QuantumNous#5) Retry cap = max(RetryTimes, availableChannels-1) via new CountAvailableChannels, so every channel can be tried even when RetryTimes is smaller than the pool. Pinned-channel requests stay at 1. Tests: channel_failover_test.go + updated status_code_ranges_test.go. go build + vet + all package tests pass.
…e, pure exclude-driven auto group, adaptive cap fixes - Remove dead `retry` param from GetRandomSatisfiedChannel/GetChannel (debt QuantumNous#1) - Rewrite auto-group selection to be purely exclude-driven; drop priorityRetry index, retry-counter manipulation, resetNextTry, and dead AutoGroupRetryIndex writes. Distinguish discovery miss (always skip group) from failover exhaustion (advance only when cross-group retry enabled) (debt QuantumNous#2) - Multi-key aware exclude: a channel is only excluded after all its enabled keys have been tried, preserving per-request key rotation (debt QuantumNous#3) - Size retry budget by total enabled keys (CountEnabledKeys) so every key of a multi-key channel fits within the adaptive cap (debt QuantumNous#3) - Fix shouldRetry to use retryCap instead of common.RetryTimes so the adaptive cap is not silently clamped (debt QuantumNous#4) - Task relay loop now carries exclude set with the same multi-key logic - Tests: multi-key CountEnabledKeys + key-weighted budget
…ry-After, skip cooling channels/keys in selection with fallback - Add cross-request key-level cooldown store (TTL map, clamped to 300s) - Parse upstream Retry-After / X-RateLimit-Reset headers in RelayErrorHandler - Register cooldown on 429 (or any Retry-After) in processChannelError, key-aware - GetNextEnabledKey and channel selection prefer non-cooling keys/channels, always fall back so cooldown never denies service - Clear cooldown on success (sync + task relay loops) - TDD: cooldown store, selection skip, key skip, Retry-After parsing
… health-check path, parse OpenAI duration reset headers
- Move cooldown mark out of processChannelError (shared with channel
health-check path) into the relay loops via markCooldownFromError, so
admin channel tests never pollute live rate-limit state.
- Extract contextKeyIndex / clearCooldownForContext helpers, removing
three copies of the multi-key-index lookup.
- Parse OpenAI's Go-duration reset headers ("6m0s", "1s", "88ms") in
ParseRetryAfterSeconds; previously ParseFloat failed on them and the
precise upstream hint was silently dropped to the default cooldown.
Sub-second resets round up to 1s. Adds regression tests.
shouldRetry now bails out when relayInfo.HasSendResponse() is true, so a mid-stream upstream error (e.g. Claude emitting an error event after message_start has already flushed SSE bytes) can no longer trigger a retry that appends a second response onto the partial output on the same http.ResponseWriter, which corrupted/duplicated what the client saw. Individual stream handlers mostly avoid propagating a retryable error after their first flush, but that protection was scattered and had gaps (Claude's WithClaudeError path returns a retryable 500 that is not in alwaysSkipRetryCodes). This adds the single authoritative guard.
…ile key rotation Channel-level upstream failures (5xx, auth_unavailable — anything that is not a per-key 429/Retry-After) hit every key of a channel the same way, so burning the remaining keys only adds latency before failover. Introduce NewAPIError.IsRateLimited as the single source of truth (shared with cooldown) and a recordChannelFailure helper that excludes the channel immediately on a channel-level error, while a rate-limit still rotates keys until all are throttled. Applied to both the sync relay loop and the async task loop.

Synchronize reads of MultiKeyStatusList.
UpdateChannelStatus updates multi-key state under GetChannelPollingLock. controller/relay.go calls CountEnabledKeys during concurrent relay failures. A map read here can race with a status update and terminate the Go process with a concurrent map access failure.
Acquire the same per-channel lock before reading MultiKeyStatusList.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Return channel-selection errors from the auto-group path.
This assignment discards errors from model.GetRandomSatisfiedChannel. A database or cache-consistency failure is then treated as a discovery miss and can route the request to another group.
Assign the error and return it, as the non-auto branch does.
Proposed fix
- channel, _ = model.GetRandomSatisfiedChannel(autoGroup, param.ModelName, param.RequestPath, param.ExcludeChannels)
+ channel, err = model.GetRandomSatisfiedChannel(autoGroup, param.ModelName, param.RequestPath, param.ExcludeChannels)

Summary
Improves relay reliability: exclude-driven channel failover, adaptive retry budget, and a rate-limit cooldown circuit breaker that respects upstream
Retry-Afterhints. Also fixes a data-corruption bug where a retry could append a second response after SSE bytes were already flushed to the client.Fixes the long-standing "no available channel" failures where healthy channels were never tried before the request failed (see #852 — automatic disable of slow channels), plus several related root causes.
Changes
1. Exclude-driven channel failover + adaptive retry
GetRandomSatisfiedChannel/GetChanneltake anexcludeChannelsset; selection is rewritten to be exclude-driven (group non-excluded candidates by priority, pick the highest tier that still has channels, weighted-random within it). Returns(nil,nil)when the pool is exhausted so the caller stops cleanly.AutomaticRetryStatusCodeRangesis authoritative (defaults to full 5xx).max(RetryTimes, availableChannels-1)so every channel can be tried even whenRetryTimesis smaller than the pool. Pinned-channel requests stay at 1.2. Failover tech-debt paydown (multi-key aware)
retryparam,priorityRetryindex, retry-counter manipulation,resetNextTry, deadAutoGroupRetryIndexwrites.GetNextEnabledKey).CountEnabledKeys), so every key of a multi-key channel fits within the adaptive cap.shouldRetryto useretryCapinstead ofcommon.RetryTimes(adaptive cap was silently clamped).3. Rate-limit cooldown circuit breaker
Retry-After/X-RateLimit-Resetheaders, including OpenAI Go-duration formats ("6m0s","1s","88ms"); previouslyParseFloatfailed on these and the precise upstream hint was silently dropped to the default cooldown. Sub-second resets round up to 1s.Retry-After), key-aware; channel selection prefers non-cooling keys/channels with fallback, so cooldown never denies service.processChannelError), so admin channel tests never pollute live rate-limit state.4. Channel-level failure excludes the whole channel
NewAPIError.IsRateLimitedintroduced as the single source of truth (shared with cooldown);recordChannelFailureexcludes the channel immediately on channel-level error, while rate-limits still rotate keys until all are throttled. Applied to both sync relay and async task loops.5. Fix: never retry after response bytes sent to client
shouldRetrynow bails out whenrelayInfo.HasSendResponse()is true. A mid-stream upstream error (e.g. Claude emitting an error event aftermessage_starthas already flushed SSE bytes) could previously trigger a retry that appended a second response onto the partial output on the samehttp.ResponseWriter, corrupting/duplicating what the client saw.Testing
