Problem details
- Observed symptom
- except anthropic.OverloadedError never matches in async code; overload handling/fallback logic silently skipped.
- Context
- Product: Anthropic Python SDK Component: AsyncAnthropic._make_status_error Operation: async messages.create hitting 529 overloaded or 413 Affected versions: <0.85.0/0.86.0 Environment: unknown HTTP status: 529, 413 Packages: anthropic <0.86.0 Trigger: Status handlers for 529/413 were added to the sync client only; async copy fell through to >=500 catch-all.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [anthropic-sdk-python <0.85/0.86] AsyncAnthropic raises InternalServerError for 529 and bare APIStatusError for 413 (sync client raises OverloadedError / RequestTooLargeError)
Recommended action: Upgrade anthropic to >=0.86.0 (current 1.x); older: catch InternalServerError and check status_code == 529.
Fix: Upgrade SDK or branch on status_code [evidence: released_fix]
Applies when: Anthropic Python SDK / AsyncAnthropic._make_status_error
Steps:
1. pip install -U anthropic
2. Older: except anthropic.APIStatusError as e: if e.status_code == 529: ...
Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable
