For BFCL generations of hosted models, this will check for rate limit errors and retry thrice. We can choose to include an exponential back-off as is usually recommended, but I think in the interest of keeping it simple this should perhaps be sufficient?

This does NOT affect the leaderboard values.

  1. retry_count < retry_limit - 1 should be removed, otherwise it would only retry two times (when retry_count is 0 and 1).
  2. You can also check the status code for indication of rate limit reached. Such as 429 Too Many Requests, 403 Forbidden or 503 Service Unavailable. Purely relying on the text "rate limit reached" might be inaccurate. For example, the below error message from Anthropic API would not be caught:

Number of requests has exceeded your rate limit. Please try again later or contact sales to discuss your options for a rate limit increase.
