Implement Ideogram rate limiting, backoff, and idempotency patterns. Use when handling rate limit errors, implementing retry logic, or optimizing API request throughput for Ideogram. Trigger with phrases like "ideogram rate limit", "ideogram throttling", "ideogram 429", "ideogram retry", "ideogram backoff".

## Overview
Handle Ideogram rate limits gracefully with exponential backoff and idempotency.
## Prerequisites
- Ideogram SDK installed
- Understanding of async/await patterns
- Access to rate limit headers
## Instructions
### Step 1: Understand Rate Limit Tiers
| Tier | Requests/min | Requests/day | Burst |
|------|-------------|--------------|-------|
| Free | 60 | 1,000 | 10 |
| Pro | 300 | 10,000 | 50 |
| Enterprise | 1,000 | 100,000 | 200 |
### Step 2: Implement Exponential Backoff with Jitter
```typescript
async function withExponentialBackoff<T>(
operation: () => Promise<T>,
config = { maxRetries: 5, baseDelayMs: 1000, maxDelayMs: 32000, jitterMs: 500 }
): Promise<T> {
for (let attempt = 0; attempt <= config.maxRetries; attempt++) {
try {
return await operation();
} catch (error: any) {
if (attempt === config.maxRetries) throw error;
const status = error.status || error.response?.status;
if (status !== 429 && (status < 500 || status >= 600)) throw error;
// Exponential delay with jitter to prevent thundering herd
const exponentialDelay = config.baseDelayMs * Math.pow(2, attempt);
const jitter = Math.random() * config.jitterMs;
const delay = Math.min(exponentialDelay + jitter, config.maxDelayMs);
console.log(`Rate limited. Retrying in ${delay.toFixed(0)}ms...`);
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
}
}
throw new Error('Unreachable');
}
```
### Step 3: Add Idempotency Keys
```typescript
import { v4 as uuidv4 } from 'uuid';
import crypto from 'crypto';
// Generate deterministic key from operation params (for safe retries)
function generateIdempotencyKey(operation: string, params: Record<string, any>): string {
const data = JSON.stringify({ operation, params });
return crypto.createHash('sha256').update(data).digest('hex');
}
async function idempotentRequest<T>(
client: IdeogramClient,
params: Record<string, any>,
idempotencyKey?
