anthropic ${resp.status}: ${await resp.text().catch(() => ''

Error message

anthropic ${resp.status}: ${await resp.text().catch(() => '')}

What it means

The Anthropic Messages API returned a non-2xx HTTP status during the memory-LLM extraction call. The error includes the status code and the raw response body for diagnosis. This is the callAnthropic path in the daemon's automatic memory extractor, not the main chat runtime.

Solutions

1. Check the API key is valid, has credits, and is correctly configured in the memory provider settings
2. Verify provider.model is a current Anthropic model name available on the account
3. Confirm provider.baseUrl points to the correct Anthropic endpoint
4. Inspect the response body in the error message for the specific API error code
5. Retry after a delay if the status is 429 (rate limited)

try {
  const text = await callAnthropic(provider, system, user);
} catch (err) {
  if (err.message.startsWith('anthropic ')) {
    const status = parseInt(err.message.split(' ')[1], 10);
    if (status === 429) {
      // Rate limited — retry with backoff
      await sleep(backoffMs);
      return callAnthropic(provider, system, user);
    }
    if (status === 401 || status === 403) {
      throw new Error('Anthropic API key is invalid or lacks permission');
    }
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Invalid or expired API key (401/403); rate limiting (429); model name not available on the account; request payload malformed; quota or billing exceeded; network-level error page returned instead of JSON.

Common situations: API key revoked or rotated without updating daemon config; wrong baseUrl pointing to a non-Anthropic endpoint; model deprecated or not enabled for the key; hitting rate limits during batch memory extraction; billing issues.
