For long-context/high-reasoning requests, record time-to-first-token, total generation time, and whether the 504 happens before any stream data; then retry only before partial output and use a bounded fallback rather than resending the whole context blindly. Full disclosure: I’m building Your Model, a multi-model OpenAI-compatible API.
