Deploying LLM agents in production introduces catastrophic financial risks: unbounded recursive reasoning loops, exponential token context growth, silent fallback to 10x expensive models, and unexpected HTTP 429 quota exhaustion during traffic spikes.
The Four Critical AI Ops Hazards
| Rule & Exception | Failure Condition | Automated Protection |
|---|---|---|
| AI_COST_SPIKE_RUNAWAY_CRITICAL | Hourly spend > 300% moving baseline | Enforce organization hard budget limit and alert on-call. |
| AI_UNBOUNDED_TOKEN_LEAK_CRITICAL | Single trace > 64,000 tokens consumed | Clamp max_completion_tokens hard limit at proxy layer. |
| AI_RATE_LIMIT_THROTTLING_CRITICAL | HTTP 429 Quota Exhaustion returned | Failover to secondary provider multi-region pool. |
| AI_MODEL_FALLBACK_COST_CREEP | Served model != Configured model | Flag silent auto-escalation from lightweight to flagship tier. |
