Limitlisten
Re-measure present limits before a demanding step instead of assuming yesterday's capacity
Definition
Mechanism
Before a demanding step, current limits are measured rather than assumed, such as remaining Budget, rate limits, available context and present load. The step is sized to the measured limits, and a limit that differs from the last measurement is recorded.
Invariants
- Current limits are measured before each demanding step.
- The step is sized to the measured limits.
- A limit that changed since the last measurement is recorded.
Risks
Failure modes
Stale capacity
a step is sized to limits that no longer hold.
Measurement drag
limits are re-measured so often that the work stalls.
