Queue limits are configured per discovered worker endpoint with
`request_queue_limit_per_worker`, `raw_isl_token_queue_limit_per_worker`, and
`cached_token_queue_limit_per_worker`. The effective class-local limit is the
configured value multiplied by the current number of discovered endpoints.

each configured value multiplied by the current number of discovered endpoints.
Limits are checked against current usage before adding the incoming request,
so the request that crosses a limit is accepted and the next queued request is
rejected with HTTP 529 and the effective total. Worker removal does not evict

The frontend does not return a fixed HTTP 503 for this rejection. ErrorMessage::from_anyhow recognizes QueueRejection and emits overload_status_code(), whose default is 529 and which operators may override with DYN_HTTP_OVERLOAD_STATUS_CODE. Documenting 503 makes clients configured as shown here handle the wrong status.

🤖 AI Fix

Document queue-limit rejections as using the configured overload status code (default 529), or change the frontend error mapping consistently if 503 is the intended contract.

This states queue-limit rejections return HTTP 503, but the OpenAI frontend maps every QueueRejection through overload_status_code(), whose default is 529; the existing HTTP test also asserts 529. Operators can configure 503, but it is not the default described here.

🤖 AI Fix

Document the default HTTP 529 queue-rejection status and note that DYN_HTTP_OVERLOAD_STATUS_CODE can override it.

The uncached-token limit counts only the queued ISL portion that still needs
prefill compute (raw ISL minus the best cached tokens across eligible
workers), so cache-heavy requests do not consume the queue budget that
protects prefill capacity. DRR charges the uncached-token snapshot captured
at enqueue, while raw, cached, and uncached snapshots remain unchanged for

Document the clamped scheduling cost.

QueueSnapshot::new preserves exact uncached_tokens but sets scheduling_cost_tokens to max(1, uncached_tokens). DRR deficit charging and WSPT priority both use scheduling_cost_tokens. Update this paragraph to state that limits and token counters use exact snapshots, while DRR and WSPT use the clamped scheduling cost captured at enqueue.

This restates the immediately following QueueSnapshot::new(100, 100) setup and the assertion that the uncached total remains 2; it adds no lasting constraint beyond the test code.
