What causes LLM provider bans ?

Policy violations — think scraping, high-volume automation, or 'unsafe' prompts. No public list; it's secret sauce.

How do I implement LLM failover?

Abstract providers, build a router with fallbacks. 200 lines, as shown. Test by killing one API key.

Will OpenAI or Anthropic ban me next?

If your traffic smells off, yeah. Diversify now.

Will this replace direct API calls?

It should. Single-provider is suicide for prod.
