rate_multiplier must be >= 0

Error message

rate_multiplier must be >= 0

What it means

Returned by validateDataAccount (backend/internal/handler/admin/account_data.go:697) when an accounts[] entry sets rate_multiplier to a negative number. The field is optional (nil passes) but when present must be >= 0; concurrency and priority have analogous non-negative checks immediately after.

Solutions

1. Set rate_multiplier to 0 or a positive value, or remove the field entirely to use the default.
2. Add min="0" validation on the input that produces the value.
3. If unset should mean default, omit the key instead of sending a sentinel like -1.

Example fix

// before
{ "name": "main", "platform": "openai", "type": "oauth", "credentials": { ... }, "rate_multiplier": -0.5 }

// after
{ "name": "main", "platform": "openai", "type": "oauth", "credentials": { ... }, "rate_multiplier": 0.5 }

function hasValidRateMultiplier(entry: Record<string, unknown>): boolean {
  const r = entry.rate_multiplier
  return r === undefined || r === null || (typeof r === 'number' && r >= 0)
}

function isOptionalNonNegative(n: unknown): n is number | undefined {
  return n === undefined || n === null || (typeof n === 'number' && n >= 0)
}

When it happens

Trigger: An account entry with "rate_multiplier": -1 or any negative value — typically from a form, spreadsheet, or computed value that went below zero.

Common situations: Spreadsheet formulas producing negative multipliers; UI number inputs without min=0; copy-paste of a minus sign or dash character; treating 0 as 'unlimited' and normalizing unset to -1.
