feat(low-code): cap the wait WaitUntilTimeFromHeader is willing to return by darynaishchenko · Pull Request #1123 · airbytehq/airbyte-python-cdk

Daryna Ishchenko (darynaishchenko) · 2026-08-19T13:29:47Z

What

WaitUntilTimeFromHeader gains max_waiting_time_in_seconds: raise instead of sleeping when the wait it computes exceeds the value. Both this field and the existing one on WaitTimeFromHeader become interpolatable.

Why

A rate-limit backoff derived from a reset header is unbounded. WaitTimeFromHeader has had max_waiting_time_in_seconds for exactly this since it was written, but the sibling strategy that reads an absolute reset timestamp has no equivalent — so a response carrying X-RateLimit-Reset an hour out sleeps for an hour and nothing can stop it.

Nothing else can bound it either:

DefaultErrorHandler.max_time cannot. user_defined_backoff_handler runs backoff.on_exception with backoff.constant, interval=0 and performs the real time.sleep(exc.backoff + 1) inside its on_backoff callback, invisible to the library's budget check. Making it visible would be worse than the bug — the 600 s default would start cutting off legitimate hour-long waits.
An authenticator's own wait bound cannot. That governs the proactive path, where local counters say the quota is spent before a request is sent. This is the reactive path, where the server rejected a request the counters thought was fine, and the authenticator is not consulted at all.

Interpolation is the point of the change. One manifest can then give a connection check a tighter bound than a sync — a check is interactive and should fail fast with an actionable message, a sync can afford to sleep through a rate-limit window rather than fail — by overriding a single config value for the duration of the check.

Note the dependency: varying a config value per operation needs config_overrides on the check component, which is #1122 and not merged yet. Until it lands, this field is interpolatable from the config the user supplies, which is the same config for check and read; the per-operation bound arrives with #1122. The user-facing schema descriptions deliberately say only the former.

- type: WaitUntilTimeFromHeader
  header: "X-RateLimit-Reset"
  min_wait: 60
  max_waiting_time_in_seconds: "{{ config['max_waiting_time'] * 60 }}"

Measured on source-github before this change: a single-token check against a rate-limited response sleeps 3600 s and then fails. With the cap resolved to 0 for the check, it fails immediately with the rate-limit message.

How

Three details worth reading the diff for:

The cap compares against the computed wait, not the raw header. Unlike Retry-After, the header here is an absolute timestamp; only the difference is a duration. Comparing the epoch value to a cap would be meaningless.

It is applied after the min_wait floor. A cap below the floor still wins — a caller that says it will never wait longer than N seconds means it, floor or no floor. That includes the fallback path where the header is absent and min_wait supplies the wait on its own.

The cap guard is is not None, not a truthiness check. 0 is the value a caller uses to say "never wait". WaitTimeFromHeader read it as falsy and silently disabled its own cap; that is fixed here too, so the two fields agree. The header is still checked for truthiness, on purpose: a Retry-After: 0 asks for no wait at all, and no cap — not even 0 — should stop a stream over it.

An unusable cap fails loudly. The field is only read while handling an error the requester was already going to retry, so a config key the manifest reads but the spec never exposes, or a value that is not a number, would otherwise surface as an unhandled jinja UndefinedError or ValueError in the middle of a sync that had been running fine. It raises AirbyteTracedException with FailureType.system_error instead — a system error rather than a config error because the field lives in the manifest, so there is nothing in the user's settings to correct. An AirbyteTracedException raised by the interpolation itself passes through untouched, keeping its own failure type and message. A cap that is present but resolves to nothing (a blank config value) raises as well, rather than silently dropping the bound: "no cap" is spelled by leaving the field out of the manifest.

The evaluation is shared. max_waiting_time_helper holds the cast-to-InterpolatedString and the resolution for both strategies, so the boundary rule and the error text cannot drift apart. It deliberately does not own the comparison, since WaitTimeFromHeader stops at >= (what it has always done) and WaitUntilTimeFromHeader at >.

Review guide

backoff_strategies/max_waiting_time_helper.py — the whole file: how a cap is resolved, and what happens when it cannot be
backoff_strategies/wait_until_time_from_header_backoff_strategy.py — _capped and the three return paths it wraps (the fourth was an unreachable branch, since get_numeric_value_from_header returns a float or None, never a str; it is deleted here)
backoff_strategies/wait_time_from_header_backoff_strategy.py — interpolation, the is not None cap guard, and the deliberate truthiness check on the header
declarative_component_schema.yaml — both field descriptions

Testing

143 passed in declarative/requesters/error_handlers; 1081 passed across declarative/requesters, declarative/parsers and streams/http. ruff check clean, ruff format applied, mypy clean. Line coverage of the three changed modules is 100%.

New tests, on WaitUntilTimeFromHeader: the cap above / equal to / below the computed wait; 0 never waits; the cap beats the min_wait floor; the cap applies to the header-absent fallback; the interpolated case, where the same strategy waits under a sync's budget and refuses under a tighter one; and an unresolvable cap raising a system error.

On WaitTimeFromHeader, which had no coverage for either change: a cap of 0 never waits; an interpolated cap above / below the header value; an unresolvable cap raising a system error; a Retry-After: 0 allowed through with a cap of 0 and with a finite cap; a blank and a null config value each raising rather than dropping the cap; and the AirbyteTracedException passthrough, so an interpolation error keeps its own failure type and message.

Each fix was checked by reverting it and confirming the matching tests fail. The default path was checked differentially against main: 72 combinations of min_wait × regex × header shape through WaitUntilTimeFromHeader without a cap are identical, and of WaitTimeFromHeader's 54 combinations exactly 9 differ, every one with max_waiting_time_in_seconds: 0 — the intended change and nothing else.

Note for the reviewer

The generated model was updated by hand for the two fields. Running poe assemble on main produces unrelated churn — it renames the public OAuthScope model to Scope/OptionalScope and reorders ~300 lines — which is pre-existing drift between the checked-in file and what the generator currently emits. Same note as on #1121; worth fixing separately.

User Impact

None by default — both fields are optional and absent means unbounded, as today. Three changes for a connector that sets the field explicitly:

max_waiting_time_in_seconds: 0 on WaitTimeFromHeader used to be silently ignored and now means "never wait". No connector in the monorepo sets it — the only two uses are source-klaviyo (self.max_time, minutes-scale) and source-granola (60).
A cap that cannot be resolved, or that resolves to nothing, now fails the sync with a system error instead of being dropped. Previously an unresolvable cap crashed with a jinja traceback and a blank one silently removed the bound.
WaitTimeFromHeader's failure message changed from "The rate limit is greater than max waiting time has been reached." to "The rate limit wait time is longer than the connector is allowed to wait.", which is what WaitUntilTimeFromHeader emits — visible in logs and to anything matching on the text.

Can this PR be safely reverted and rolled back?

YES 💚

…turn A rate-limit backoff derived from a reset header is unbounded. WaitTimeFromHeader has had max_waiting_time_in_seconds for this since it was written -- raise rather than sleep past a limit the connector is willing to accept -- but the sibling strategy that reads an absolute reset timestamp has no equivalent, so a response carrying a reset an hour out sleeps for an hour with nothing able to stop it. Nothing else can bound it either. DefaultErrorHandler.max_time cannot: the sleep happens inside user_defined_backoff_handler's on_backoff callback while the backoff library's own interval is 0, so the budget check never sees it. An authenticator's own wait bound cannot: that governs the proactive path, where local counters say the quota is spent before a request goes out, and this is the reactive path, where the server rejected a request the counters thought was fine. Both fields are now interpolatable, which is the point of the change. One manifest can then give a connection check a tighter bound than a sync -- a check is interactive and should fail fast with an actionable message, a sync can afford to sleep through a rate-limit window rather than fail -- by overriding a single config value for the duration of the check. Two details worth knowing when reading the diff. The cap compares against the wait the strategy is about to return rather than the raw header, because unlike Retry-After the header here is an absolute timestamp and only the difference is a duration; it is also applied after the min_wait floor, so a cap below the floor still wins. And the guard is `is not None` rather than a truthiness check, since 0 is the value a caller uses to say "never wait" -- WaitTimeFromHeader silently ignored it, which is fixed here too.

…s cap Review follow-ups on the WaitUntilTimeFromHeader cap: - Raise a config_error when an interpolated cap cannot be evaluated. The cap is only read while handling an error that was already going to be retried, so a missing config key or a non-numeric value used to surface as an unhandled jinja UndefinedError or ValueError the first time an API rate limited a sync that had been running fine. - Extract the shared evaluation into max_waiting_time_helper so the two strategies cannot drift, and give both the same user-facing message. - Drop the check-vs-sync framing from the two field descriptions: nothing in a manifest can vary a config value per operation until CheckStream config_overrides lands, so the schema promised something authors cannot do. Say "greater than or equal to" for WaitTimeFromHeader, which is what its comparison has always done, and record why the two strategies differ at the boundary. - Remove the unreachable string branch in WaitUntilTimeFromHeader.backoff_time: get_numeric_value_from_header returns a float or None, never a str. - Cover the behaviour change on WaitTimeFromHeader (a cap of 0 now means "never wait") and its new interpolation, plus the config_error path on both strategies. - Tidy the docstrings for the changed fields and drop a no-op ternary in create_wait_time_from_header.

…ated `max_waiting_time_in_seconds` is declared in the manifest, so a cap that cannot be resolved is the connector's fault, not the user's: either the expression is wrong, or it reads a config key the spec does not expose. Either way there is nothing in the connector settings for the user to correct, so a config error pointed them at a field they cannot see. The message now says the connector could not determine its wait budget and that the configuration is not at fault; the field name and the offending expression stay in the internal message. An AirbyteTracedException raised by the interpolation itself still passes through untouched, keeping its own failure type and message. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

… cap that resolves to nothing Two review follow-ups on `max_waiting_time_in_seconds`: - `WaitTimeFromHeader` checked `header_value is not None`, so with a cap of 0 a `Retry-After: 0` response stopped the stream over a wait of zero seconds. Headers arrive as strings and `"0"` reads as 0.0, not as a missing header, so the branch was reachable in production even though only an integer 0 -- a mock -- yields None. Back to a truthiness check: a header asking for no wait is not a wait any cap should refuse. - A cap that resolved to nothing was treated as "no cap", so a blank config value silently restored the unbounded wait the field exists to prevent, while a whitespace value and a missing key both raised. "No cap" is already spelled by leaving the field out of the manifest, so a field that is present and resolves to nothing now raises like any other unusable value. Tests: a zero header is allowed through with a cap of 0 and with a finite cap; an empty and a null config value each raise; and the AirbyteTracedException passthrough is pinned, so interpolation errors keep their own failure type and message instead of being reclassified as system errors.

Maximum wait-time support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Schema contracts and factory wiring `airbyte_cdk/sources/declarative/declarative_component_schema.yaml`, `airbyte_cdk/sources/declarative/models/declarative_component_schema.py`, `airbyte_cdk/sources/declarative/parsers/model_to_component_factory.py`	Both wait strategies accept numeric or interpolated maximum waits. The factory forwards the configured values.
Maximum wait interpolation and evaluation `airbyte_cdk/sources/declarative/requesters/error_handlers/backoff_strategies/max_waiting_time_helper.py`	Shared helpers normalize and evaluate maximum waits.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to abb15

This change adds configurable limits to rate-limit waits, but the current implementation can fail on the default path when min_wait is omitted and can mishandle invalid cap values, potentially causing sync failures or allowing an intended wait limit to be bypassed; equality-limit failures also report inaccurate text. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded correctness issues are fixed.

…he sibling Two review findings, both real. NaN is the one value that would switch the cap off without saying so: every comparison against it is False, so the wait this field exists to bound would run unbounded again -- the exact outcome the helper's docstring already argues must not happen silently. It is now rejected, along with infinity as the same kind of mistake; "no cap" stays spelled by leaving the field out. The cap boundary was `>` here and `>=` on WaitTimeFromHeader, so one field name meant two different things depending on which strategy it was written on. Aligned on the released `>=`, which also makes a cap of 0 refuse every wait rather than only waits above zero -- what "never wait" has to mean. Both guards were mutation-checked: reverting the boundary and removing the isfinite check each fail their tests. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Daryna Ishchenko (darynaishchenko) · 2026-08-19T15:42:39Z

Both inline threads answered and resolved, and the nitpick from the review body is taken too.

Non-finite cap — valid, fixed in cd44bc3b. NaN silently disabled the bound (every comparison against it is False), which is the one outcome the helper's docstring argues must not happen quietly.
Boundary equality on test_wait_time_from_header.py — taken, and it turned out to point at something bigger than a missing test case: the cap was > on WaitUntilTimeFromHeader and >= on WaitTimeFromHeader, so one field name meant two different things depending on which strategy it was written on. Aligned on the released >= and added the equality case to both files.
min_wait TypeError — not reproducible; InterpolatedString.create("None").eval({}) returns None, not "None", so the comparison never runs. Details in the thread.
Preserving the interpolation exception type — declined; that wrapping is deliberate and documented, so a manifest bug doesn't surface as a raw Jinja UndefinedError mid-sync.

Both new guards were mutation-checked — reverting the boundary and stubbing out the isfinite check each fail their tests. 1085 pass across declarative/requesters, declarative/parsers and streams/http; ruff and mypy clean.

Patrick Nilan (pnilan) · 2026-08-19T18:06:19Z

Is there actually a scenario where we'd want to enable interpolation for these values? I'm concerned about users setting 24 hours max wait time and then the sync just timing out due to heartbeat.

Is there actually a scenario where we'd want to enable interpolation for these values? I'm concerned about users setting 24 hours max wait time and then the sync just timing out due to heartbeat.

Patrick Nilan (@pnilan) Agree on this concern, it can be handled by the source spec itself with configured max value for this field that is based on connectors max time between messages from metadata.

… quotas Pins airbyte-cdk 7.28.0 and adopts the two components released for this migration. Rate-limit waits (airbytehq/airbyte-python-cdk#1123). Both backoff strategies now carry max_waiting_time_in_seconds interpolated from the connector's Max Waiting Time. Only the authenticator's own wait honored that budget before; a wait the error handler derived from X-RateLimit-Reset was unbounded, so a check whose token was rejected server-side slept about an hour before answering. check_connection already resolves the manifest with max_waiting_time: 0, which the cap reads as "never wait", so it now fails in seconds with the rate-limit message while a sync keeps the user's budget. The interpolation tests `is not none` rather than using `or 120`, because a falsy check on 0 would hand check the 120-minute default and reinstate the hour-long sleep. A test covers it. GitHub Enterprise Server (airbytehq/airbyte-python-cdk#1121). GHES ships with HTTP API rate limiting disabled and answers GET /rate_limit with 404. Quota seeding runs before the first stream request, so that 404 failed every command on such an instance. unavailable_status_codes: [404] seeds those tokens untracked instead: requests are still signed and tokens still rotate, only the authenticator's own quota bookkeeping is skipped, and rate limiting the instance does enforce is still handled by the stream error handler. Both guards were mutation-checked. Also fixes the existing rotation test, which relied on the fixture's year-2099 reset and would now trip the cap. Suite: 224 passed.

Review findings applied. The schema descriptions for both `max_waiting_time_in_seconds` fields, and `_capped`'s docstring, promised "stop the stream" and "0 means never wait" unconditionally. Neither holds once rotation preempts the strategy, so each now says the bound applies only when waiting is the only way forward. Two tests added. One drives the real WaitUntilTimeFromHeaderBackoffStrategy with a cap below the wait the response asks for, so the integration that regressed is pinned rather than only the client's contract against a stub — the stub tests would survive the cap being changed to return instead of raise. The other covers a rate limit that produces no backoff at all, which now rotates where it previously fell through to exponential retry: intended, but a behaviour change worth pinning. The log line says a wait was skipped without the number it can no longer compute, and names the cap, since nothing else tells an operator their configured bound was not consulted. Not applied: resolving the cap in `__post_init__` so an unreadable one fails at construction. It is the right fix for a real gap — on the rotation path a manifest-level cap error now surfaces only when no spare credential exists — but it moves when `max_waiting_time_in_seconds` raises and breaks 9 tests that assert the current timing, so it changes #1123's contract rather than this PR's ordering. Recorded in the comment; belongs in its own change. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
