agent loop detected: failed Grafana query retries exhaust dashboard API quota error

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the anomaly detector by acting on the exact message first: add a stop condition: a visited set, a max attempts counter of 3, and a changed input requirement before any retry is allowed. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent loop detected: failed anomaly query retries exhaust API quota error

Use this when

• The operation in the anomaly detector fails with this exact message: agent loop detected: failed anomaly query retries exhaust API quota error.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the anomaly detector, and copy the full message plus the item, user or metric involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: add a stop condition: a visited set, a max attempts counter of 3, and a changed input requirement before any retry is allowed. Verify: run the loop guard on the failing item and confirm it exits after the limit with a clear reason.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, ontology, baseline or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in the anomaly detector on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the anomaly detector so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

A retry with identical inputs produces the identical failure; without a counter or state change the agent cycles forever on the same item.

How to fix: agent loop detected: failed anomaly query retries exhaust API quota er

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in the anomaly detector. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: the anomaly detector at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond a text editor and the source system access needed to verify counts.

• Search requests that worked earlier in the month now fail for every query. - The dashboard usage graph shows a steady climb or a spike before the failures started. - Errors mention quota, plan limits, or monthly queries rather than authentication.

Confirm the quota is really exhausted. Open the Brave Search API dashboard for the plan in use and compare queries used this month with the free plan monthly allowance. Expected: used is at or over the allowance, which matches the time the failures started.

Check what burned the allowance. Review client logs for retry loops, health checks that run a live search, and repeated identical queries with no cache. Success check: you can name the top source of wasted queries, often a retry on every error response.

Stop the retry burn. Make failed quota responses stop the caller instead of retrying them, and add a short cache for identical searches. Expected: request volume to the API drops and no new usage accrues from repeated queries.

Pick the reset or a plan change. If the work can wait, schedule it after the monthly reset shown in the dashboard. If it cannot wait, move the subscription to a plan whose allowance fits the measured usage from step 2. Success check: a single test search succeeds and the dashboard shows the new allowance.

Verify with one live query. Run one search request and confirm a normal results response, then check the usage counter moved by one. Expected: results return and the counter increase matches the number of test calls you made.

Problem query: brave search api free plan monthly queries limit error quota exceeded fails

TL;DR: The free plan has a hard monthly query cap, and once it is reached every search request fails until the allowance resets or the plan changes. Confirm the used count in the Brave dashboard, stop clients that retry failed searches in a loop, and cache results so the remaining allowance is spent only on new queries. Do not rotate keys or create extra accounts to bypass the cap; that breaks the plan terms and the failures return as soon as the new cap is hit.
