01

Agent passes Authorization: Bearer <api_key> on POST /v2/transcript thinking AssemblyAI uses standard Bearer auth. Server returns 401.

AssemblyAI's Authorization header carries the raw API key (no 'Bearer ' prefix). Set Authorization: <api_key>. Do not assume Bearer is universal; different vendors differ. Read the auth doc and pin the header shape in code.

02

Burst of 200 simultaneous transcript submissions returns 429s with Retry-After headers on a subset.

Honor Retry-After (seconds or HTTP date). Cap concurrency client-side to stay under documented tier limits. Use exponential backoff with jitter for subsequent retries. Do not retry without backoff — that escalates the throttle window.

Pass / FailAi Platformhigh
03

Voice-agent platform tries to open 500 concurrent /v2/realtime/ws sessions and gets WS handshake rejections beyond a tier-dependent cap.

Tier-dependent concurrent session cap applies [REQUIRES-VERIFICATION on numeric caps]. Track in-flight session count client-side; back off or queue new sessions when at cap. Surface clearly to operator when capacity is exhausted. Coordinate with AssemblyAI sales for tier increases.
