fix: reduce credential exhaustion TTL from 24 hours to 1 hour#6504
Merged
Conversation
The 24-hour default cooldown for 402-exhausted credentials was far too aggressive — if a user tops up credits or the 402 was caused by an oversized max_tokens request rather than true billing exhaustion, they shouldn't have to wait a full day. Reduce to 1 hour (matching the existing 429 TTL). Inspired by PR #6493 (michalkomar).

Summary
Reduces
EXHAUSTED_TTL_DEFAULT_SECONDSfrom 24 hours to 1 hour in the credential pool.The 24-hour default was far too aggressive — transient 402s (e.g. oversized max_tokens budget vs remaining credits) would poison a credential for an entire day even though it's still perfectly usable for normal requests. 1 hour is enough cooldown for genuine billing exhaustion while recovering quickly from transient issues.
