fix: reduce credential exhaustion TTL from 24 hours to 1 hour (#6504)

The 24-hour default cooldown for 402-exhausted credentials was far too
aggressive — if a user tops up credits or the 402 was caused by an
oversized max_tokens request rather than true billing exhaustion, they
shouldn't have to wait a full day. Reduce to 1 hour (matching the
existing 429 TTL).

Inspired by PR #6493 (michalkomar).
