Stop GenAI Rate Limits: Model Routing & Token Throttling with WSO2 AI Gateway

Mar 10, 2026

Learn how to mitigate skyrocketing AI costs and prevent model outages using the WSO2 AI Gateway. This step-by-step tutorial shows you how to move beyond simple request limits and implement smart, token-based usage policies.

We also demonstrate "Adaptive Model Routing" showing you how to automatically switch between models when rate limits are hit, and how to distribute traffic using weighted round-robin to optimize for cost and performance.

🔥 *Key features covered* :

  • AI Policies: Limit usage by prompt/completion token counts.
  • Load Balancing: Route traffic between models.
  • Failover: Automatically switch to backup models during outages.
