Step-by-step answer
Stretch 60–75 min6 stepsSimulate failover with a cold cache
A one-second-tick simulation of 89 sessions failing over from a primary returning 529s to a fallback with a 2M ITPM bucket and cold prompt caches. Moving everyone at once floods the fallback with 429s; a fixed move cap avoids them by leaving sessions stranded for minutes; a move rate set by the fallback's free tokens gets both. The surge lasts exactly as long as the cache writes.
