Subject: [PATCH] fix: update regex to better match the retry error messages
 (#266)

I think the retry issue is just that the regex is wrong, checkout the
reported error messages folks are seeing:

> message: 'Rate limit reached for o4-mini in organization
org-{redacted} on tokens per min (TPM): Limit 200000, Used 152566,
Requested 60651. Please try again in 3.965s. Visit
https://platform.openai.com/account/rate-limits to learn more.',

The error message uses `try again` not `retry again`
