Too many requests: what the Vamo error means and what to do

"Too many requests" means Vamo refused a call because too many arrived in a short time, or a monthly cap was reached. Wait for the interval the response states, stop any retries, and ask your agent to work in smaller steps. If waiting does not clear it, an account owner or admin needs to look at the cap.

What you are seeing

Your agent reports "too many requests" from Vamo, or an error numbered 429. The same call fails each time the agent tries it again.

What it means

Vamo sends this answer for one of two reasons.

Calls arrived too fast. The agent sent more calls in a short time than Vamo accepts. This clears by itself. The response states how many seconds to wait when Vamo knows.

A monthly cap was reached. An account owner or admin can set a monthly cap on a member or on an API key. Once it is reached, Vamo refuses further calls from that person or key. The response gives a reason and no wait. A short wait does not clear it.

Try this

1. Stop the retries. An agent that tries again at once fails again. Stop it in your AI tool before you do anything else.
2. Wait for the stated interval. Ask the agent how long the response said to wait, then let that time pass.
3. Ask for smaller steps. Give the agent one small job at a time, and have it check with you before it fetches more.
4. Check for a cap. Open the Usage page. A person or key at its cap is marked "Limit reached". Only an owner or admin can change a cap.

A prompt like this covers the first three:

Stop retrying. Tell me how long Vamo said to wait and the reason it gave. After that, work one small step at a time and check with me before fetching more.

Keep an AI agent from looping or pulling too much covers caps and small steps in more depth. API errors lists every answer the Vamo API can give. If the agent stopped working for another reason, read Vamo worked, then stopped.

Still stuck

Let your assistant check its own connection. It reports what failed and what to do next.
