Problem Statement

When the server is overloaded (529), Claude Code retries every few seconds but eventually gives up, requiring the user to notice and manually re-submit. This is disruptive — it means I have to actively watch for when the server recovers instead of staying focused on my work.

Proposed Solution

Accept the request server-side and queue it rather than rejecting it. The client submits once and waits — no retries, no giving up, no user intervention needed. When the server has capacity, it processes the queued request and returns the response.

The user experience becomes: submit prompt → continue thinking → response arrives when ready — instead of: submit → watch for failure → re-submit manually.

Alternative Solutions

Switching to a less-loaded model is a workaround, but shouldn't be necessary — users shouldn't have to trade capability for availability.
