Hey @tjengbudi! Yes - the Combo feature is exactly what you want for this.

Create a combo with the fill-first (or priority) strategy:

1. Dashboard -> Combos -> Create Combo
2. Add your two targets in order: Kiro first, then your openai-compatible (cb) provider
3. Pick strategy fill-first (use the first target until it fails/limits, then move to the next) or priority (always prefer the top target, fall back on error)
4. Point your client at the combo's model ID instead of the raw provider

When Kiro hits its limit (429 / quota), OmniRoute automatically routes the request to cb. No manual switching needed. The circuit breaker and connection cooldown also kick in so a rate-limited Kiro is skipped until it recovers.

For your exact case (use A until limited, then B), fill-first is the cleanest fit. Let me know if you hit any snags setting it up!
