[Bug]: Model Overloaded exception

[andrewn3]

What happened?

Would be good if you handle this scenario and pause and retry a few minutes later rather than throwing an exception as in this case the application will bomb out.

Also the api key in the exception message should really be obfuscated but i manually removed it.

Relevant log output
