Problem Statement
The /rate-limit-options only provides two options:
❯ 1. Stop and wait for limit to reset
2. Upgrade your plan
Like this screenshot:

However, it requires users to type continue after the limit is reset. Since setting a timer and waiting to type continue is not very efficient, as an agent, is it possible to provide a third option called Continue after limit is reset?
Proposed Solution
Assuming the type /rate-limit-options, there should be three options:
❯ 1. Stop and wait for the limit to reset
2. Upgrade your plan
3. Continue after the limit is reset
When the limit is reset, the Claude Code will continue to work automatically.

Use Case Example
- I am trying to run several long-lasting coding tasks with multiple Claude Code instances (like five tabs).
- Each of them will attempt to implement all deliverables until all milestones are fulfilled.
- The limit will be reached within a five-hour session.
- After that, I will revisit these tabs to type multiple
continuecommands or choose theoptionsone by one. - However, with this new feature, it will automatically restart the remaining missions without requiring a manual
continuecommand.
