How to Truncate Text to a Token Budget in Python
Truncate a string to a maximum token budget for LLM context using the tiktoken library and OpenAI's tokenizer.
import tiktoken
def truncate_to_token_budget(text, max_tokens, model="gpt-3.5-turbo"):
enc = tiktoken.encoding_for_model(model)
tokens = enc.encode(text)
if len(tokens) <= max_tokens:
return text
truncated_tokens = tokens[:max_tokens]
return enc.decode(truncated_tokens)

This code calculates budget usage percentage and triggers a mock alert notification when the usage exceeds a defined threshold.
budget = 500.0
spent = 620.0
alert_threshold = 0.8
def mock_notify(percent_used):
if percent_used >= alert_threshold:
return f"ALERT: Budget usage at {percent_used * 100:.1f}% — over {alert_threshold * 100:.0f}% threshold!"
return f"OK: Budget usage at {percent_used * 100:.1f}% — under threshold."
pe…How to Calculate SLO Error Budget in Python
Simulate an SLO error budget by computing allowed downtime from a target availability percentage and mocking monthly incidents.
```python
import random
def calculate_error_budget(total_seconds: int, target_availability: float) -> float:
return (1.0 - target_availability) * total_seconds
def simulate_monthly_availability(seconds_in_month: int, budget_seconds: float) -> float:
# Mock: randomly consume a fraction of the error budget i…PodDisruptionBudget minAvailable in Python
Simulate a Kubernetes PodDisruptionBudget check for minAvailable and maxUnavailable constraints with a Python class.
class PodDisruptionBudget:
def __init__(self, name, min_available=None, max_unavailable=None):
self.name = name
self.min_available = min_available
self.max_unavailable = max_unavailable
def check_availability(self, ready_pods):
if self.min_available is not None:
