Session retries forever on weekly rate limit errors

[eeshm]

Description

When a provider returns a non-transient 429 (e.g. GitHub Copilot "exceeded your weekly rate limit"), the session retries forever instead of stopping. User has to press Esc to exit.

The AI SDK marks all 429s as isRetryable: true, so retryable() never returns undefined for these errors.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• fix(session): SessionRetry.policy() retries forever with no max attempt count #21960: SessionRetry.policy() retries forever with no max attempt count — same core symptom (infinite retry loop with no cap)
• [Bug]: Session processor retries indefinitely with unbounded exponential backoff — no max retries or circuit breaker #17648: Session processor retries indefinitely with unbounded exponential backoff — no max retries or circuit breaker — same root cause

Please review those issues and comment there if your situation matches, or clarify how this differs if it does not.

opened a PR that fixes this by stopping retries for non-transient 429 quota limits (weekly/monthly). other retry behavior is unchanged
