Why

Production traces (last 24h) show the ingest gateway makes about 97% of all Autumn calls:

Source	Calls/day
Gateway /v1/balances.track (spans sampled 1/20)	~359k
Gateway /v1/balances.check	~24k
AI chat track_tokens	~6.2k
Everything else	~1.5k

Each live instance sends one track call per active (org, feature) every 30s. With 2 instances and ~63 active pairs, that's ~15k calls an hour, most carrying a few KB of usage.

What changes

• AUTUMN_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SECS 30 → 120: ~4x fewer track calls (~359k → ~90k/day).
• AUTUMN_ENTITLEMENT_ALLOW_TTL_SECS 60 → 300: ~5x fewer checks (~24k → ~5k/day).
• The CRITICAL "Autumn tracking has failed for ~5 minutes" log now needs at least 2 consecutive failed flushes.

Both values are deploy env defaults, so they can be overridden without a code change.

Tradeoffs

• Usage in Autumn, and the billing page that reads it, can lag by up to 2 minutes. The spend-limit cron runs hourly and is unaffected.
• A graceful shutdown still flushes everything pending (10s deadline inside the 120s stopTimeout). Only a hard crash loses unsent usage, now up to 2 minutes of one instance's instead of 30s, and that error under-bills rather than over-bills.
• Hard-capped orgs can go up to ~5 minutes past their cap before a 402. Paid plans allow overage, so this mostly affects orgs without a subscription.

Verify after deploy

Query autumn.track / autumn.check span counts for service ingest (×20 for sampling) and confirm they drop by about 4x and 5x.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Usage data is less likely to be affected by a single failed flush, particularly when flushes occur less frequently.
  • Updated usage-tracking defaults include a 5-minute entitlement allowance and a 2-minute flush interval. Instances track usage separately, with billing reads performed hourly.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 8/10 · likely safe to merge. Config-only tuning, but it changes billing cadence and how soft a hard cap is; the cap window is wider than the PR states.
_{1 note · tests partial −1 · risk high −1}

Raises the ingest deploy's Autumn flush interval to 120s and the entitlement allow TTL to 300s, and floors the CRITICAL flush-failure threshold at two. Safe to merge; the cap-softness window is wider than the description claims.

• AUTUMN_FLUSH_INTERVAL_SECS deploy default 30 → 120
• AUTUMN_ENTITLEMENT_ALLOW_TTL_SECS deploy default 60 → 300
• CRITICAL flush-failure log now needs 2 consecutive failed flushes

Findings

🔵 Note · F1 · Hard caps are soft for ~7 minutes, not the 5 the comment claims

correctness · apps/ingest/alchemy/gateway-env.ts:34-35

Autumn only learns of usage at the next balances.track flush (autumn.rs:508), so the 300s allow TTL sits on top of the new 120s interval: a capped org keeps ingesting up to ~7 minutes before a 402, not the 5 the comment and the PR state.

Say the window is TTL plus flush lag, or set the allow TTL to 180 so a hard cap is soft for ~5 minutes as described.

Walkthrough

The gateway environment now sets defaults for the entitlement allow TTL and flush interval. The flush loop requires at least two consecutive failures before reaching its critical-failure threshold.

Changes: Autumn ingest flush tuning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Gateway environment defaults apps/ingest/alchemy/gateway-env.ts	The entitlement allow TTL default is now 300 seconds, and the flush interval default is now 120 seconds. Comments describe the soft cap, per-instance tracking, and hourly billing reads.
Flush failure threshold apps/ingest/src/autumn.rs	The critical-failure threshold now has a minimum of two consecutive failures.

Raising the flush interval to 120 seconds cuts Autumn calls but can leave more unsent usage at shutdown. If a graceful shutdown hits the 10-second flush deadline, some usage may go unbilled. Check production pair counts and send latency before relying on the shutdown guarantee. The delay before a hard cap takes effect also grows to roughly seven minutes, which the PR accepts.

Explanation

The title names the two main changes: the usage flush interval moves to 2 minutes, and allow decisions are cached for 5 minutes. The raw summary confirms both defaults in apps/ingest/alchemy/gateway-env.ts. It also covers the flush_loop critical-failure threshold change in a secondary way, which the title does not mention. The title is specific and matches the changeset, so it passes.

Sending pending usage in sequence can exceed the 10-second shutdown deadline.

UsageFlusher::flush sends one request per (org_id, feature_id) pair, one after another. AUTUMN_SHUTDOWN_DEADLINE allows the final flush 10 seconds. If the pending pairs multiplied by the per-send latency exceed that limit, the timeout in AutumnTracker::shutdown stops the flush. The logged message says the pending usage was not sent.

The 120-second flush interval raises the number of pairs that can be pending at shutdown. For example, 200 pairs at 100 ms per send need about 20 seconds. Graceful shutdown can then drop usage, which the PR description states does not happen.

Before changing the code, measure the distinct pairs per instance over a 120-second window and the Autumn send latency. Then decide how to shorten the final flush. Options include sending entries concurrently with a bounded limit during the final flush, or raising the shutdown deadline. The deadline change must fit the container's termination grace period, which this review did not inspect.
