Thanks Rahmi — saw EZThrottle a while back, been thinking about how the layers relate. Your coordinated retry layer assumes the failure is classified correctly upstream — that’s the gap I’ve been working on.

Would be curious if you’re seeing cases where region racing picks the wrong route because the original 429 was misclassified.

Ezthrottle works by sending the request and depending on what error code the user wishes to reroute on, it will send to another region. It give the user a chance to say something different in case the api misclassifies the error. The user would have to tune it.
