Bug Description
Constant stream of 429s for sonnet 4 model when using claude code API Error (429 Too many tokens, please wait before trying again.) · Retrying in 1 seconds… (attempt 1/10). I am completely unable to use sonnet 4.
It is not AWS service quota limitation. I tried with extremely low message rate.
This happens for arbitrarily simple and small messages. The cwd had very little content.
It also happens on sonnet 3.7, but its more rare for 3.7 and 3.7 is usable.
Steps to Reproduce
- Fresh install of claude code
- Set
AWS_DEFAULT_REGION,AWS_PROFILEand other AWS authentication environment variables - Set model to sonnet 4
- Type a message

Expected Behavior
429s should happen only when I hit AWS service quotas.
Actual Behavior
I get stream of 429s
Additional Context
