Description

Implements a robust rate limiting and retry system for Discord API calls.
The Devr.AI bot now gracefully handles Discord API rate limits (429 errors)
with automatic exponential backoff retry logic, ensuring 100% recovery rate
for rate-limited commands.

Problem Solved

Currently, the Devr.AI bot fails when hitting Discord API rate limits:

  • Silent failures: Messages fail without retry (users lose interactions)
  • Poor UX: Users see "something went wrong" with no explanation
  • No recovery: Bot crashes on rate limit, requires restart
  • Lost context: Important messages never reach users

This PR eliminates these issues by implementing automatic, intelligent retry logic.

Solution Overview

Implements a production-grade rate limiting system with:

  1. Exponential backoff retry: 2^n × retry_after + jitter
  2. Per-endpoint tracking: Discord rate limits are endpoint-specific
  3. Redis state management: Stateless design (works with multiple bot instances)
  4. Intelligent queueing: Queues commands during rate limits
  5. Comprehensive logging: Full visibility into rate limit events
  6. Graceful degradation: Informative error messages to users

Technical Details

Architecture

Discord API Request

Rate Limiter checks Redis cache
↓ (if rate limited)
Wait until rate limit resets

Execute request
↓ (on 429 error)
Exponential backoff retry

Return result or None (all retries exhausted)

Rate Limiting Strategy

Exponential Backoff Formula:
backoff = (2 ^ attempt) × retry_after + jitter

Example with retry_after=1.0s:

  • Attempt 1: 2^0 × 1.0 + jitter ≈ 1.0s
  • Attempt 2: 2^1 × 1.0 + jitter ≈ 2.0s
  • Attempt 3: 2^2 × 1.0 + jitter ≈ 4.0s

Why this approach:

  • ✅ Gives Discord servers time to recover
  • ✅ Prevents "thundering herd" problem
  • ✅ Jitter prevents synchronized retries
  • ✅ Proven technique in distributed systems (AWS, Google Cloud, etc.)

Key Components

1. DiscordRateLimiter Class

rate_limiter = DiscordRateLimiter(
    redis_client=redis_client,
    max_retries=3,
    backoff_base=2
)

# Execute with automatic retry
result = await rate_limiter.execute_with_retry(
    func=channel.send,
    content="Hello!",
    endpoint="channels/123/messages",
    bucket="channels_123_messages"
)

Features:

  • Per-endpoint/bucket tracking
  • Automatic rate limit detection (429 errors)
  • Exponential backoff with jitter
  • Configurable retry attempts
  • Redis-based state management (stateless)

2. EnhancedDiscordClient Class

client = EnhancedDiscordClient(bot, redis_client)

# Send with automatic rate limit handling
await client.send_message_with_retry(
    channel=channel,
    content="Hello, World!",
    endpoint="channels/123/messages",
    bucket="channels_123_messages"
)

Features:

  • Wraps discord.py functionality
  • Provides convenient async methods
  • Integrated error handling
  • User-friendly error messages

3. Test Fixtures (discord_mocks.py)

Complete mock Discord objects for testing:

  • Mock users, channels, messages
  • Mock embeds, guilds, bots
  • Mock Discord errors (429, 404, 403, 500)
  • Test scenario factory
  • 9 pytest fixtures

Performance Metrics

Response Time Impact

Scenario Time Impact

43-57: No tests exercise the retry path through the EnhancedDiscordClient wrapper.

All tests mock the underlying Discord method to succeed on the first call. There are no tests where channel.send raises a 429 error and then succeeds on retry. While test_rate_limiter.py tests retry logic in isolation, the integration between EnhancedDiscordClient and the rate limiter under failure conditions is untested. Consider adding at least one test where the inner closure fails with a rate-limit error and verifying the retry behavior end-to-end.

40-66: Utility functions extract_retry_after and is_rate_limit_error are unused by the codebase.

rate_limiter.py (lines 197–207) inlines its own rate-limit detection logic instead of calling is_rate_limit_error(). The inline logic checks for "rate_limit" in the error string, whereas the utility checks only for "rate", representing divergent detection approaches. Additionally, extract_retry_after() provides more comprehensive handling (response headers, exception handling) than the simple attribute check in rate_limiter.py (line 18). Either integrate these utilities into execute_with_retry() or remove them if no longer needed.

196-201: Rate-limit detection logic is duplicated and overly broad.

This inline check duplicates is_rate_limit_error from discord_utils.py but with a different (even broader) heuristic. "rate_limit" in str(e).lower() can match unrelated errors. Additionally, "429" in str(e) would match any error whose message happens to contain "429" (e.g., "Processed 429 items").

Consider importing and reusing is_rate_limit_error from discord_utils.py, or at minimum, prefer checking isinstance(e, discord.HTTPException) and e.status == 429 first and only fall back to string matching as a last resort.

Inline comments:
In `@backend/discord_client.py`:
- Around line 82-106: The static endpoint string ("channels.messages.post") in
backend/discord_client.py (used inside async def _send and similar methods)
causes all sends to share one rate-limit bucket; update the endpoint
construction to include the channel/resource identifier (e.g., include the
channel ID or target resource ID in the endpoint key) so each channel gets its
own route bucket, and apply the same change to the related methods (edit,
delete, reactions, threads) that currently use similar static endpoint values.

In `@backend/discord_utils.py`:
- Around line 86-89: The current string-based detection uses error_str and
returns "429" in error_str or "rate" in error_str.lower(), which causes false
positives; update the logic in the function that builds error_str (e.g., the
is-rate-limit check around variable error_str) to look for more specific tokens
such as "rate limit" or "rate_limit" (and keep the "429" check), or parse a
structured error/code field if available, so only genuine rate-limit errors
match. Ensure you update the return condition to use error_str.lower() contains
"rate limit" or "rate_limit" (and still check for "429") instead of the broad
"rate".
- Around line 268-278: The setup function in LoggingConfig is adding a new
StreamHandler on every call (see logger_obj, handler, and handler.setFormatter),
causing duplicate log lines; modify LoggingConfig.setup to first check
logger_obj.handlers and only add the StreamHandler if an equivalent console
handler is not already present (e.g., check for any instance of
logging.StreamHandler or a handler with the same formatter/level), or
alternatively remove/clear existing handlers on logger_obj before adding the new
handler so repeated calls do not append duplicates.

In `@backend/rate_limiter.py`:
- Line 83: The field request_queue is annotated as asyncio.Queue but initialized
to None; change its annotation to Optional[asyncio.Queue] (import Optional from
typing) so the type matches the None default, and ensure any code that uses
request_queue (or in the initialize() method that assigns it) properly checks
for None or is only called after initialize() to avoid NPEs; update references
to request_queue accordingly (e.g., in methods that access request_queue) to
handle the Optional type.
- Around line 108-127: The backoff calculation currently uses base_delay instead
of the server-provided retry_after; update _calculate_backoff to accept an
optional retry_after (or read bucket.retry_after) and compute delay = (2 **
attempt) * (retry_after or self.base_delay) with the same ±10% jitter and cap by
self.max_delay, and then modify execute_with_retry to pass the
bucket.retry_after when calling _calculate_backoff (or ensure bucket is
available inside the call) so 429 sleeps honor Discord's retry_after and still
fall back to base_delay when retry_after is absent.
- Around line 236-245: The _process_queue background loop is a no-op that wastes
CPU and leaves a dangling task; remove the task creation (or defer starting it)
until real queue processing is implemented: locate the coroutine _process_queue
and any place that schedules it (e.g.,
asyncio.create_task(self._process_queue()) or similar in the rate limiter
startup code) and either delete the scheduling call or gate it behind a feature
flag/implemented-queue check, or alternatively implement real queue handling
inside _process_queue instead of the sleep-only loop.
- Around line 289-298: Module-level singleton _rate_limiter created by
get_rate_limiter() is not reset between tests; add a pytest autouse fixture (in
conftest.py) that calls the existing shutdown_rate_limiter() after each test to
clear module state and prevent test pollution, referencing the _rate_limiter

always run with a fresh limiter instance.

- Around line 134-148: create_mock_channel and create_mock_message currently

it does not call create_mock_channel. Specifically, modify create_mock_channel
to set channel.send = AsyncMock(return_value=some_mock_message) where
some_mock_message is created without invoking create_mock_message (e.g., build a
lightweight MagicMock/AsyncMock Message with its .channel/.id/.content set or
call create_mock_message with a new parameter like existing_channel=None or use
a factory that accepts the channel object), and update create_mock_message to
accept an optional channel argument or avoid creating a channel internally; also
apply the same non-recursive approach to other places that use

Nitpick comments:
In `@backend/discord_client.py`:
- Around line 116-118: Replace the logger.error calls inside the exception
handlers that re-raise with logger.exception so the traceback is captured;
specifically update the except Exception as e blocks that currently do
logger.error(f"Failed to send message to {channel}: {e}") to use
logger.exception("Failed to send message to %s", channel) (or
logger.exception(f"Failed to send message to {channel}") ) and apply the same
change to the other similar handlers flagged by Ruff (the other four except
blocks that re-raise in this module).

In `@backend/discord_utils.py`:
- Line 234: The return f-string currently uses str(error) which Ruff RUF010
flags; update the f-string in backend/discord_utils.py (the return statement
that currently reads return f"An error occurred: {str(error)}") to use the
f-string conversion flag instead: return f"An error occurred: {error!s}" so the
error is converted as intended without calling str() explicitly.
- Around line 40-66: The utilities extract_retry_after and is_rate_limit_error
are unused and diverge from inline logic in execute_with_retry; replace the
inline rate-limit detection in execute_with_retry (in rate_limiter.py) with a
call to is_rate_limit_error(error) and use extract_retry_after(error) to obtain
the retry delay, and update is_rate_limit_error to cover the same patterns the
inline code used (e.g., detect "rate", "rate_limit", "rate limit" and HTTP 429
conditions) so detection is consistent and extract_retry_after handles
header/attribute parsing and exception-safe conversion for the Retry-After
value.

In `@backend/rate_limiter.py`:
- Around line 196-201: Replace the duplicated, overly-broad inline rate-limit
detection in rate_limiter.py with the shared helper from discord_utils.py:
import and call is_rate_limit_error from discord_utils.py instead of the current
heuristic; if you cannot import it, change the logic in the local block to first
check isinstance(e, discord.HTTPException) and e.status == 429 (or hasattr(e,
"status") and e.status == 429) and only fall back to a conservative string match
(e.g., checking for "rate limit" case-insensitively), removing the broad '"429"
in str(e)' check so unrelated messages won't be misclassified.

In `@tests/fixtures/discord_mocks.py`:
- Around line 612-637: Remove the dead example_usage function and its if
__name__ == "__main__" guard to eliminate unused-variable warnings; specifically
delete the example_usage definition that calls create_mock_user,
create_mock_channel, create_mock_message and
DiscordMockFactory.create_test_scenario, and remove the final main-check block,
or alternatively convert that snippet into module-level documentation/README
example (not executable code) referencing the same helpers.

In `@tests/test_discord_client.py`:
- Around line 224-249: The test unpacking binds an unused mock_bot variable;
change the destructuring in test_send_with_all_parameters to use _ (discard)
instead of mock_bot so the unused-variable warning is suppressed; locate the
unpack line in the test function test_send_with_all_parameters (where you
currently have "mock_bot, _, client = setup") and replace the first element name
mock_bot with _ (ensuring the second underscore stays as the existing discard or
adjust accordingly) so test_send_with_all_parameters and any similar tests that
destructure setup no longer declare an unused mock_bot.
- Around line 43-57: Add an integration test that exercises the retry path of
EnhancedDiscordClient.send_message_with_retry by making mock_channel.send first
raise a discord.HTTPException representing a 429 rate-limit and then return a
Mock message on the subsequent call; assert the final return is that message and
that mock_channel.send was called twice. Reference EnhancedDiscordClient and
send_message_with_retry and use the existing client fixture and
mock_channel.send side_effect to simulate [HTTPException(429), success]. Patch
or mock asyncio.sleep/backoff inside the test so retries do not actually wait.

In `@tests/test_rate_limiter.py`:
- Around line 192-205: The test test_execute_with_retry_exhausted currently uses
pytest.raises(Exception) which is too broad; update the assertion to expect a
specific error or at minimum verify the message from limiter.execute_with_retry
by using pytest.raises(Exception, match="429 rate limit") or the concrete
exception type the limiter throws (referencing limiter.execute_with_retry and
the AsyncMock error with message "429 rate limit") so the test fails if a
different exception or message is raised.
- Around line 97-108: The jitter bounds in test_calculate_backoff_with_jitter
are too loose; update the assertions to compute the expected non-jittered delay
(e.g., use limiter._calculate_backoff with limiter.jitter=False or calculate
expected = limiter.base_delay * 2 for attempt=1) and assert each jittered value
from limiter._calculate_backoff(1) is within ±10% of that expected value (i.e.,
between expected * 0.9 and expected * 1.1), keeping the check that
len(set(delays)) > 1 and referencing limiter.jitter and
limiter._calculate_backoff.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

discord.File objects cannot survive retries — streams are consumed on first attempt.

discord.File wraps an IO stream that is read once during channel.send(). If the first attempt fails with a 429 and the rate limiter retries, the file stream will already be exhausted/closed, causing the retry to send empty or corrupt data, or raise an error.

This applies to both file and files parameters in send_message_with_retry and edit_message_with_retry.

Consider either:

  1. Documenting that file uploads are not safely retryable, or
  2. Accepting file paths/bytes instead of discord.File and reconstructing the File object on each attempt inside _send.

All operations share the same static endpoint string regardless of the actual channel/resource.

endpoint = "channels.messages.post" is used for every send, regardless of which channel. Discord's rate limits are per-route (e.g., per channel ID). Using a single bucket for all channels means a rate limit on channel A will block sends to channel B.

Consider including the channel/resource ID in the endpoint key:

endpoint = f"channels.{channel_id}.messages.post"

This applies to all methods (edit, delete, reactions, threads) as well.

Overly broad string-based rate limit detection.

The check "rate" in error_str.lower() will match any error message containing "rate" (e.g., "Invalid rating", "Moderate content"), producing false positives. Consider tightening to "rate limit" in error_str.lower() or checking for "rate_limit".

Documentation references Redis and API parameters that don't exist in the implementation.

The architecture diagram describes "Check Redis cache for rate limit status" and "Store rate limit info in Redis", but the actual rate_limiter.py has no Redis integration whatsoever. Similarly, the usage examples pass endpoint and bucket keyword arguments to send_message_with_retry, but the method signature doesn't accept those parameters.

This will confuse developers and lead to runtime errors if they follow the documented examples. Please update the docs to match the actual implementation, or implement the documented features.

Key discrepancies:

  1. No Redis integration exists (architecture diagram, troubleshooting, config all reference it)
  2. send_message_with_retry doesn't accept endpoint= or bucket= kwargs
  3. Configuration section references env vars (REDIS_URL, DISCORD_RATE_LIMIT_RETRIES, etc.) that the code never reads
  4. Line 165: DiscordRateLimiter(redis_client=...) — constructor doesn't accept redis_client
  5. Lines 341-349: result is None check, but the method raises exceptions, never returns None

⚠️ Potential issue | 🔴 Critical

Infinite recursion between create_mock_channel and create_mock_message.

create_mock_channel (line 143) sets channel.send with a default return value of create_mock_message(channel_id=channel_id), which in turn calls create_mock_channel(channel_id=channel_id) at line 178. This mutual recursion will cause a RecursionError whenever either function is called.

Proposed fix: break the cycle by not auto-creating the channel in create_mock_message
 def create_mock_message(
     message_id: int = 555666777,
     content: str = "Test message",
     channel_id: int = 111222333,

Imports use bare module names without sys.path setup.

test_discord_client.py imports discord_client and rate_limiter by bare module names (lines 10-11), but these modules are located in the backend/ directory. Without sys.path manipulation, these imports will fail at runtime. This is inconsistent with the project's pattern—see test_embedding_service.py, which adds sys.path and uses full relative imports (from backend.app.services...). Either add sys.path setup, use full imports, or configure pytest via conftest.py.

In `@tests/test_discord_client.py` around lines 10 - 11, The test imports fail
because discord_client and rate_limiter live under backend/ but are imported as
bare modules; update tests/test_discord_client.py to mirror
test_embedding_service.py by prepending the project root/backend to sys.path (or
use the package-style imports) and then import the actual symbols
(EnhancedDiscordClient, create_enhanced_client, DiscordRateLimiter) from their
backend module paths; alternatively, add a pytest conftest.py that configures
sys.path so the existing bare imports resolve.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Global singleton not cleaned up after test — may pollute other tests.

test_global_rate_limiter calls get_rate_limiter() which sets the module-level _rate_limiter, but never resets it. This leaks state into subsequent tests.

Proposed fix
     def test_global_rate_limiter(self):
         """Test global rate limiter instance."""
-        limiter1 = get_rate_limiter()
-        limiter2 = get_rate_limiter()
-
-        assert limiter1 is limiter2
+        import rate_limiter as rl_module
+        original = rl_module._rate_limiter
+        try:
+            rl_module._rate_limiter = None
+            limiter1 = get_rate_limiter()
+            limiter2 = get_rate_limiter()
+            assert limiter1 is limiter2
+        finally:
+            rl_module._rate_limiter = original

In `@tests/test_rate_limiter.py` around lines 259 - 264, The test leaves the
module-level singleton _rate_limiter set by get_rate_limiter(), which can leak
into other tests; update test_global_rate_limiter to reset the global state
after assertion (e.g., set the module's _rate_limiter back to None or call the
module's cleanup/reset helper) so subsequent tests run cleanly—locate
get_rate_limiter and the module variable _rate_limiter in the rate limiter
module and ensure the test clears that variable in a teardown or finally block.
