Metadata

Branch: fix/test-infra-api-quota-limits
Commit Message: fix(test-infra): handle API quota limits in ca-test-infra-improver worker
Milestone: (backlog — see note below)
Parent Epic: #1678

Background and Context

The ca-test-infra-improver agent workers are hitting API quota limits when performing test infrastructure analysis. This causes workers to fail and retry, slowing down the analysis process and potentially producing incomplete results across multiple analysis areas.

This was discovered during autonomous test infrastructure improvement operations on the ci-pipeline-design analysis area.

Current Behavior

Workers hit the Gemini API quota limit and receive the following error:

You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits. To monitor your current usage, head to: https://ai.dev/rate-limit.
* Quota exceeded for metric: generativelanguage.googleapis.com/generate_content_paid_tier_3_input_token_count, limit: 8000000, model: gemini-2.5-pro
Please retry in 45.820092475s.

The following analysis areas are impacted:

ci-execution-time
coverage-gaps
test-architecture
flaky-tests
ci-pipeline-design
test-data-quality
missing-test-levels
dependency-security

Expected Behavior

The ca-test-infra-improver agent should be able to complete its full analysis across all areas without being interrupted by API quota limits. Either the quota should be increased, or the agent should implement graceful backoff and retry strategies that do not result in incomplete analysis.

Acceptance Criteria

The ca-test-infra-improver agent completes analysis of all 8 affected areas without quota-related failures
If quota limits are hit, the agent implements graceful exponential backoff and retries transparently
Analysis results are complete and not truncated due to quota exhaustion
Quota usage is logged/monitored so future quota issues are detectable early

Supporting Information

Affected agent: ca-test-infra-improver
Affected model: gemini-2.5-pro
Quota metric: generativelanguage.googleapis.com/generate_content_paid_tier_3_input_token_count
Quota limit: 8,000,000 tokens (paid tier 3)
Retry delay observed: ~45.8 seconds
Related Epic: #1678 (CI Execution Time Optimization)

Subtasks

Investigate current API quota allocation for ca-test-infra-improver agent
Evaluate options: quota increase vs. token-efficient prompting vs. graceful backoff
Implement chosen solution (quota increase and/or backoff/retry logic)
Validate that all 8 analysis areas complete successfully without quota errors
Add quota monitoring/alerting to detect future quota exhaustion early
Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors
Verify coverage >= 97% via nox -s coverage_report

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

All subtasks above are completed and checked off.
A Git commit is created where the first line of the commit message matches the Commit Message in Metadata exactly, followed by a blank line, then additional lines providing relevant details about the implementation.
The commit is pushed to the remote on the branch matching the Branch in Metadata exactly.
The commit is submitted as a pull request to master, reviewed, and merged before this issue is marked done.
All nox stages pass.
Coverage >= 97%.

Backlog note: This issue was discovered during autonomous operation
on milestone v3.8.0. It does not block milestone completion and has been
placed in the backlog for human review and future milestone assignment.
