Claude Opus 4.7 token rate limit quota throttling

The error is a ThrottlingException: "Too many tokens, please wait before trying again." This is a rate limit / quota issue specific to Claude Opus 4.7 on Bedrock. Here's exactly why it's happening:

Why Opus 4.7 Throttles But Opus 4.6 Doesn't

Claude Opus 4.7 is a brand-new model (just released ~May 2026), and AWS applies much stricter default token-per-minute (TPM) quotas on newly launched models until capacity scales up.
ModelDefault TPM Quota
Claude Opus 4.7 (cross-region)200,000 TPM
Claude 3 Opus (on-demand)400,000 TPM
These are account-level limits shared across all requests to that model — if you or anyone else in your AWS account hits that ceiling within a 60-second window, new requests get throttled.
Why Opus 4.6 / others work fine:
  • Older models have higher default quotas that have been increased over time as AWS capacity grew.
  • Opus 4.7 is new, so the default quota starts conservative and gets shared across all early adopters on the same regional infrastructure.

How to Fix It

  1. Request a quota increase — Go to AWS Service Quotas → Bedrock, search for "Claude Opus 4.7", and submit an increase request. This is the proper fix.
  2. Use a different region or cross-region inference profile — You're using us-east-1. The cross-region inference profile (which routes across us-east-1, us-east-2, us-west-2) has a higher combined ceiling. Make sure you're using the cross-region inference profile ARN (us.anthropic.claude-opus-4-7-...) rather than a single-region model ID.
  3. Wait and retry with exponential backoff — The throttle is per-minute, so waiting ~60 seconds and retrying usually works for light usage.
  4. Use Provisioned Throughput — If you need guaranteed capacity for Opus 4.7, you can provision dedicated throughput in Bedrock (though this costs more).
In short: it's not a bug with the model — it's AWS being conservative with quota on a model that launched just days ago. A quota increase request via Service Quotas is the cleanest solution.
