[Bug] Anthropic API Error: Internal Server Error (500) with no retry mechanism

Bug Description
Disappointed that I burned through much of my 5-hr quota on a task that--three times--ended with "API Error: 500 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"api_error","message":"Internal server
error"},"request_id":"req_011CYV8tSEUXz9jk1yfAyMdN"}" The error isn't actionable in any meaningful way, so it feels like a total waste
