fix(server): a limited provider's queue stays held after another provider's turn succeeds - #22425
A usage-limit failure holds a thread's queued messages only until any later run on the thread executes. When provider A hits its limit with A-selected messages still queued and the user then completes a turn on provider B, the queue starts on its own. Each queued A message runs against A's still-active limit, fails with usageLimitExceeded, is consumed, and flips the thread back to A. Reported in https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/21705 and reproduced twice there with native provider errors and run timestamps.
The gate in usageLimitHoldsQueue reads A's latest session error but passes every run on the thread to usageLimitBlockedRun, which looks only at the thread's latest executed run. After B's success that run is B's completed run, so the gate returns false even though A's own latest run is still the usage-limit failure.
Change
usageLimitHoldsQueue now evaluates only the runs of the provider the queued message selects. When A's limited run is still the thread's latest run, the queue stays held as before. When another provider has run since, the queue stays held only while the reported reset time is still ahead, so a limit that has reset no longer pins messages queued for A (the stuck case @mkantautas found in the first review). The same helper guards both the automatic queue start in startNextQueuedRun and the explicit queue.resume command, so both paths follow the same rule. Each queued message keeps the account it was saved with, as the issue asks.
Not in this PR: delegated-completion wakes queued while the thread was on A still sit first in delivery order and hold the messages behind them until A's reset. That ordering predates this change and wants its own fix.
Verification
Regression test holds a limited provider's queue through another provider's turn until %s passes (one row for a known reset, one for an unknown reset) in apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts. It queues an A message behind a running A run, fails that run with a usage_limit error whose reset is an hour out, completes a B run, calls resumeQueuedRuns, and asserts the A message is still queued and that queue.resume is refused. It then advances the clock an hour and asserts the A message starts on A when the reset was known, and stays queued when it was not.
On main (fix reverted, test kept): fails with expected 'starting' to equal 'queued'.
With the fix: passes.
vp test run apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/testkit/ProviderSwitch.integration.test.ts: 2 files, 145 tests passed on current main.
vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck and the tests beside the change pass.
Not changed: after B succeeds, the thread's latest run is B's, so the usage-limit banner, Continue, and auto-resume for A's run no longer show. A held A message starts with the next queue start after its reset passes (a run ending, a cancel, or a send); nothing wakes the queue at the reset time itself. A limit with no reported reset stays held until the user sends on A or cancels the message, matching the recovery worker and banner, which also treat an unknown reset as a manual retry.
Not checked: a live two-account Codex reproduction. The fix changes only which runs the existing helper reads and when, so the end-to-end path is the one the test drives through the persisted orchestrator and fake provider.

Macroscope's review found this PR approvable — This is a narrowly scoped server bug fix that keeps a provider’s queued work held when a different provider completes successfully. It changes only the existing provider-specific usage-limit check and adds regression coverage for the reported sequence.

The usage-limit queue check now evaluates runs for the selected provider and uses the current time to assess reset conditions. Queue-start and queue-resume paths pass that time to the check. Tests cover work on another provider and known, unknown, and invalid reset times.

Summary
Provider-scoped hold check and regression coverage apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/Orchestrator.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration-v2/runtimeLayer.test.ts
usageLimitHoldsQueue filters runs to the selected provider. It holds the queue when the limited run is the latest executed run, or when the latest provider failure has no valid reset time or its reset is in the future. Queue-start and queue-resume paths pass the current time. Tests cover work on another provider, reset-time cases, and queued-run state.
pingdotgg/t3code#31057 — This change checks queue holds against each selected provider, which relates to queued messages that remain selected on a limited provider.

Merge Risk: Minimal · previous review f42e7
Queued work remains held for an unknown reset after another provider runs. No actionable merge-blocking risk remains.
Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 5335e
The fix strengthens an existing queue hold rather than creating a new execution path. Activity on another provider can no longer release work held by the limited provider. No material security risk was identified in the change.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The changed decision consumes one thread projection and a requested provider-instance identifier. It selects that instance's latest session and filters candidate runs to the same identifier; it does not introduce a credential or execution-target selection mechanism.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — For the same projection and requested provider, filtering before latest-run classification cannot remove a hold that the previous implementation enforced. The changed predicate therefore does not create a new queue-release bypass through activity on another provider; it closes the previously demonstrated release sequence.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Usage-limit classification remains tied to the selected executed run's failed root-node error and compatible session error. Queued runs and cancellations that never started do not replace the executed-run outcome. Provider filtering does not remove these existing conditions.

Full details: Linked Issues check
Explanation
#21705 requires the A-selected message to remain queued after provider B succeeds, while preserving its saved account. usageLimitHoldsQueue filters by provider and uses the reset time. The regression test verifies that the queue stays held and that the message keeps its selection. However, #21705 also allows the user to explicitly retry or resume the work. The test confirms that queue.resume is rejected during the hold, and the shared gate applies the same hold to this explicit command. The available evidence does not establish another explicit retry path that satisfies this requirement.
Resolution
Allow an explicit retry or resume to release the usage-limit hold, while keeping automatic queue starts blocked until the limit no longer applies. Preserve the message’s saved provider selection.

Two cases this leaves stuck. Both checked with a runtime test against this diff.
1. A limit that has already reset keeps holding. With only A's runs read, A's latest run stays the usage-limit failure until A itself runs again. So once the user carries on with B, a message queued for A never starts, even after A's reset has passed. Example: A stops at 18:00 with a reset at 22:50 and a message still queued for A. The user continues on B. The next day the A message is still queued. The thread reads as idle, with no limit banner and no Resume, because the guard returns without setting queueHeld. It leaves the queue only if the user cancels it or sends on A themselves. On main it would have started and failed right after the first B turn.
Keeping the old rule and adding only the known-reset case avoids that:
constlimited=usageLimitBlockedRun(projection.runs.filter((run)=>run.providerInstanceId===providerInstanceId),projection.turnItems,latestSession?.lastError??null,);if(limited===null)returnfalse;// Nothing ran after the limit: hold, as before.if(latestExecutedRun(projection.runs)?.id===limited.id)returntrue;// Another provider ran since: hold only while the reported reset is ahead.constresetAt=latestRootProviderFailure(limited,projection.turnItems)?.resetAt;returnresetAt!=null&&Date.parse(resetAt)>DateTime.toEpochMillis(now);
Both callers pass yield* DateTime.now. A message held this way becomes eligible at the reset and starts with the next queue start, such as a run ending or a cancel. Nothing wakes the queue at resetAt itself, since resumeQueuedRuns has no production caller.
Commit with this change and its test: mkantautas@6f5caae. The test holds the A message after a completed B turn, refuses queue.resume, then advances the clock past the reset and expects the message to start on A. With this PR's version it fails at that last step (expected 'queued' to equal 'starting').
2. Delegated-completion wakes now block the whole queue.ProviderContinuationService queues them with no model, so each takes the thread's selection at queue time. queuedRunsInDeliveryOrder always puts them first, and reordering cannot move anything ahead of them. A wake queued while the thread was on A now holds every message behind it until A runs again, including prompts the user sent for B. With the change above, it holds them until A's reset. That probably wants its own fix, for example letting these wakes follow the current conversation as monitor updates do since #21314. This PR is what makes the case reachable.
Investigated with Claude Opus 5.5 in Claude Code, through T3 Code.
…ider's turn succeeds
The usage-limit hold on queued messages read the thread's latest executed
run. A successful turn on another provider became that run and released the
hold, so queued messages for the limited provider started, failed on its
limit, and were consumed. The hold now reads only the queued message's own
provider runs.
Fixespingdotgg#21705
…ovider's turn until its reset
A usage-limit failure held queued work only while it was the thread's
latest run, so a turn that completed on another provider started the
limited provider's queued messages against its limit. The hold now reads
the queued provider's own latest run. It still holds when that run is the
thread's latest, and otherwise holds only while the reported reset time is
ahead, so a limit that has reset no longer pins messages queued for it.

…held
A limited run that reports no reset time has nothing to release the hold
on, so another provider's turn no longer starts its queued messages into
the same limit.
checked 67d41c66adf2ffce5de9d775e9c4328dce560d50 on this linux boat vm. this is partial runtime verification, not confirmation of the usage-limit fix.
installed and ran github/main (32ecd71726) in a separate worktree first. a real codex gpt-6.1-sol turn completed with MAIN_PROVIDER_OK.
stopped main, checked out the exact pr head, installed dependencies, and ran the dev server against isolated .t3 state. created a real git repo and project through the app cli. used repository playwright with /usr/bin/google-chrome.
on the pr, a real codex turn completed with PR_PROVIDER_OK. while another turn was running, t3 thread send reported the next message as queued. web composer steering reached the active provider. after it completed, the queued turn started automatically and returned QUEUED_TURN_OK.
added codex_2 through settings, selected it in the web composer, and completed SECOND_INSTANCE_OK in the same thread. persisted runs 1–3 retain codex; run 4 uses codex_2. both instances use the same proxy credentials.
29 checks report success on this head, with none failing or pending. no source changes, commits, pushes, or new test files. the evidence below shows neighboring behavior only. the 27-second recording was inspected, and uploaded playback and seeking passed. the animated image is a 17-second excerpt of that recording.
the original bug could not be reproduced on main: no genuinely exhausted codex account was available, and the local proxy successfully completed the real turns. i did not inject quota errors, modify persisted events, use mocks, or burn quota to manufacture exhaustion.
therefore the changed hold after another instance succeeds, refusal of queue resume under that hold, known-reset expiry, and unknown-reset retention remain unverified end to end. they still need an exhausted instance a and an available instance b. this pass cannot certify the fix.
native desktop, ios/android, other providers, and remote/relay/tunnel connections were not exercised.
merged github/main into the branch with a merge commit (9370baf610). one conflict in Orchestrator.ts: main added queueTailModelSelection next to usageLimitHoldsQueue. kept both. no other source changes.
f42e7da93e: a resetAt that does not parse now keeps the hold, matching an unknown reset. added a row to the existing parameterized test. it fails without the guard.
vp run check:changed passed on blacksmith: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages), tests (5 files, 144 tests). runtimeLayer.test.ts passed separately: 124 tests.
Review findings
coderabbit: an unparseable resetAt released the queue. fixed in f42e7da93e.
coderabbit: an unknown resetAt released the queue. fixed in 67d41c66ad, where resetAt == null keeps the hold.
mkantautas point 1: a reset that has passed kept holding. the current code holds only while nothing ran after the limit or the known reset is still ahead. this matches the suggested rule.
mkantautas point 2: delegated-completion wakes queued on the limited provider hold the queue behind them. that needs its own fix. it is out of scope here.
coderabbit linked-issue check: "explicit queue.resume should override the hold". main already refuses queue.resume under a usage-limit hold. this PR keeps that rule, so the suggestion is out of scope.
Not verified
the hold after another provider succeeds is verified only by runtimeLayer.test.ts. it was not exercised end to end. that needs a genuinely exhausted provider instance.

…fter another provider runs
Transient 429s are classed usage_limit with no reset time, so holding on an
unknown reset after another provider's turn left the queue stuck with no way
to resume. Only a known reset still in the future keeps that hold now.

…by another provider's limit hold
The per-provider reset hold also guarded queue.resume and queued-run.start, so
once another provider had run, the user's explicit resume was refused while the
client showed no limit to act on. The reset hold now applies only to automatic
queue starts; explicit commands keep main's latest-run check.

When provider A hits its limit with A-selected messages still queued and the user then completes a turn on provider B, the queue starts on its own. Each queued A message runs against A's still-active limit, fails with

usageLimitHoldsQueuenow evaluates only the runs of the provider the queued message selects. When A's limited run is still the thread's latest run, the queue stays held as before. When another provider has run since, the queue stays held only while the reported reset time is still ahead, so a limit that has reset no longer pins messages queued for A (the stuck case @mkantautas found in the first review).

Fixes https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/issues/21705, accepted as a bug by @juliusmarminge in #21705 (comment). That comment confirms the latest-run check as the cause and notes that https://git.cafe/pingdotgg/t3code/pulls/21314, now merged, makes the hold provider-specific but still calls
usageLimitBlockedRunon all runs, so it does not cover this sequence. One underlying problem, server only, no contract or UI change.Not in this PR: delegated-completion wakes queued while the thread was on A still sit first in delivery order and hold the messages behind them until A's reset. That ordering predates this change and wants its own fix.
