When does this happen?

IF When the primary AI provider returns a 429 quota exhaustion error or fails, causing workflow interruption.

How others solved it

THEN Configure a prioritized list of model providers in the agent configuration, with a fallback strategy (e.g., 'on-quota-exhausted') to automatically switch to the next available provider when the primary fails. Optionally notify the user and reset to the primary after a cooldown period.

In opencode.jsonc, define a 'models' array with entries having 'provider', 'model', and 'priority' fields, and set 'fallbackStrategy' to 'on-quota-exhausted' for the agent.
