A comprehensive guide and implementation demonstrating how to handle API rate limits when interacting with AI services like Together AI. It details the token bucket algorithm for client-side throttling and provides robust retry mechanisms (exponential backoff) to manage 429 (Rate Limit Exceeded) and 5xx server errors, ensuring stable, high-throughput batch processing.

This guide provides a systematic, safe workflow for refactoring rapidly developed or AI-generated fullstack applications. It focuses on identifying and removing dead code, fixing broken imports, and consolidating repetitive logic while strictly maintaining existing API contracts, routes, and core functionality. Use this before launch to ensure a stable, maintainable production baseline, following a 'surgery, not demolition' philosophy.
