Category: Infinite Loop Problems

Problems where applications enter infinite loops causing resource exhaustion, system hangs, or crashes. This includes recursive loops, circular dependencies, and runaway processes that consume CPU, memory, or API resources without termination conditions.

AutoGPT Recursive Self-Analysis Loop Leading to Token Exhaustion and System Crash
  • AutoGPT enters an infinite recursive loop when attempting to analyze and fix its own execution errors
  • The agent repeatedly tries to debug its own code, spawning new analysis tasks for each failure
  • Each iteration consumes API tokens and memory, eventually exhausting resources
  • The loop accelerates as error messages grow longer, consuming tokens exponentially
  • System becomes unresponsive and crashes with out-of-memory errors or API rate limit failures
