High-volume AI automation fails without a strategy for Token Economics. If your API bill is higher than your revenue, you don't have a business—you have a hobby.

Mastering the Token Bucket

API providers like OpenAI and Anthropic use a Token Bucket algorithm. You are given a "bucket" of tokens that refills over time. If you burst too many requests, the bucket empties and you get a 429 error.

  • Implement a local semaphore to limit concurrency.
  • Use Redis to sync rate limits across multiple workers.
