COMPUTE_BUDGET_EXCEEDED

Inference cost exceeded budget

What happened

The estimated cost of the inference call exceeded the configured budget cap. The estimate uses ~chars/4 tokens × per-token rate.

How to fix

Either raise the budget, shorten the prompt, or lower maxOutputTokens. Always estimate first with Compute.estimate(...).

Example

const est = await compute.estimate({ messages, maxOutputTokens: 256 });
if (est.fee > budget) throw new Error("too expensive");
