Rollout Safeguards¶
Subscription & Cost Safeguards¶
Pre-Flight Validation System¶
Comprehensive Cost Estimation:
class PodcastCostEstimator:
async def estimate_production_cost(
self,
episode_spec: EpisodeSpec,
user_tier: SubscriptionTier
) -> CostEstimate:
# Calculate research costs
research_cost = await self._calculate_research_cost(episode_spec.research_queries)
# Calculate script generation costs
script_cost = await self._calculate_script_cost(episode_spec.duration)
# Calculate voice synthesis costs
voice_cost = await self._calculate_voice_cost(
episode_spec.duration,
episode_spec.voice_count,
episode_spec.hd_quality
)
# Apply tier-based limits and discounts
adjusted_cost = await self._apply_tier_adjustments(
research_cost + script_cost + voice_cost,
user_tier
)
return CostEstimate(
estimated_cost=adjusted_cost,
cost_breakdown={
'research': research_cost,
'script': script_cost,
'voice': voice_cost
},
tier_limits=user_tier.limits,
recommendations=await self._generate_cost_optimizations(episode_spec)
)

if attempt < max_retries:
# Calculate delay with exponential backoff
delay = min(base_delay * (2 ** attempt), max_delay)
# Add jitter to prevent thundering herd
if jitter:
delay *= (0.5 + random.random() * 0.5)
await asyncio.sleep(delay)
# Log retry attempt
