What's Wrong?
## Bug Report: "Unknown slash command: rate-limit-options" error when hitting rate limits
### Description
When hitting session rate limits in Claude Code, an error message appears: "Unknown slash command: rate-limit-options". This suggests that Claude Code's rate-limiting handler is attempting to
invoke a slash command that doesn't exist or isn't properly registered.
What Should Happen?
### Expected Behavior
When hitting rate limits, Claude Code should either:
- Display rate limit information and options for the user
- Show a helpful message about when limits will reset
- Provide guidance on rate limit tiers or upgrade options

Steps to Reproduce
### Steps to Reproduce
- Use Claude Code (claude --version = 2.0.65 (Claude Code)) normally until hitting the session rate limit
- Observe the error message when the rate limit is triggered
