Cause (Documented platform behavior): Bedrock Runtime service model assigns these HTTP statuses; AWS SDKs auto-retry ModelNotReadyException up to 5 times. ServiceQuotaExceededException docs say you can resubmit later.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Treating every 400 from Bedrock as a validation bug.
- Assuming a 429 always means per-minute throttling.
Unknowns:
- Current idle-eviction window for imported models (not in fetched sources).
Other error fragments:
- The model specified in the request is not ready to serve inference requests.

- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/boto/botocore/develop/botocore/data/bedrock-runtime/2023-09-30/service-2.json (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): botocore Bedrock Runtime shapes: ServiceQuotaExceededException httpStatusCode 400 ("resubmit your request later"); ModelNotReadyException 429 ("AWS SDK will automatically retry the operation up to 5 times"); ModelStreamErrorException 424 ("Retry your request"); ThrottlingException 429.
- https://github.com/aws-samples/bedrock-engineer/blob/main/docs/custom-model-import/README.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_workaround): AWS sample docs: "Model is not ready for inference" for imported models; wait minutes to tens of minutes and retry.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Quota errors are treated as permanent bad requests (400) and not retried, while imported-model cold starts look like rate limiting (429) and SDK retries appear to hang.
- Context
- Product: Amazon Bedrock Component: Bedrock Runtime error model Operation: InvokeModel / Converse / ConverseStream Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown HTTP status: 400, 429, 424 Exception: ServiceQuotaExceededException, ModelNotReadyException, ModelStreamErrorException Trigger: Account service quota exceeded (ServiceQuotaExceededException, 400); invoking an imported/custom model that is not yet ready or was evicted after idling (ModelNotReadyException, 429); mid-stream failures (ModelStreamErrorException, 424).

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Amazon Bedrock Runtime] ServiceQuotaExceededException is HTTP 400 (not 429) and ModelNotReadyException is HTTP 429 — status-code-based retry logic misroutes both
Recommended action: Branch on exception type (error code), not HTTP status: backoff/resubmit on ServiceQuotaExceededException and ThrottlingException; for ModelNotReadyException allow longer warm-up (or keep-warm pings); retry the whole request on ModelStreamErrorException.
Option: Retry by exception code [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Bedrock clients and gateways
Steps:
1. Map ServiceQuotaExceededException and ThrottlingException to backoff/fallback
2. Map ModelNotReadyException to extended warm-up retries or keep-alive pings
3. Map ModelStreamErrorException to full-request retry
4. Keep ValidationException non-retryable
Expected: Correct retry behavior per failure class.
