+### Request Error Metrics
+
+The router tracks request-level failures by model and reason so you can monitor both absolute error throughput and the share of requests that fail.
+
+- `llm_request_errors_total{model, reason}`
+  - Description: Total number of request errors categorized by failure reason
+  - Labels:
+    - model: target model name for the failed request
+    - reason: error category (timeout, upstream_4xx, upstream_5xx, pii_policy_denied, jailbreak_block, parse_error, serialization_error, cancellation, classification_failed, unknown)
+
+Example PromQL queries:
+
+```prometheus
+# Total errors by reason over the last hour
+sum by (reason) (increase(llm_request_errors_total[1h]))
+
+# Error throughput (errors/sec) by model over the last 15 minutes.
+# Helpful for incident response because it shows how many failing requests are impacting users.
+sum by (model) (rate(llm_request_errors_total[15m]))
+
+# Error ratio (% of requests failing) by model over the last 15 minutes.
+# Use increase() to align numerator and denominator with the same lookback window.
+100 * sum by (model) (increase(llm_request_errors_total[15m])) /
+    sum by (model) (increase(llm_model_requests_total[15m]))
+
+# PII policy blocks over the last 24 hours
+sum(increase(llm_request_errors_total{reason="pii_policy_denied"}[24h]))
+```
+
 ### Pricing Configuration
 
 Provide per-1M pricing for your models so the router can compute request cost and emit metrics/logs.
