When does this happen?

IF Multiple simultaneous requests to a vLLM asynchronous engine cause CancelledError, leading to AsyncEngineDeadError and server failure.

How others solved it

THEN Implement concurrency control: use asyncio.Semaphore to limit the number of concurrent requests to the vLLM engine, or queue requests and process them sequentially. Consider upgrading to a newer version if a fix is available.

import asyncio
semaphore = asyncio.Semaphore(4)

async def limited_request(prompt):
    async with semaphore:
        return await engine.generate(prompt)
