Recommended action: Read the 429 message and x-ratelimit-* headers to classify; honor retry-after-ms; lower max_tokens; smooth bursts; request quota only for true quota exhaustion; use PTU for guaranteed capacity. Option: Classify then remediate [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Azure OpenAI (Microsoft Foundry) / Quota / rate limiting Steps: 1. Check message and x-ratelimit-limit-tokens header 2. Reduce max_tokens to the expected size 3. Retry with retry-after-ms 4. Escalate sustained 429s below quota via support Expected: 429 rate drops Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
