What's Wrong?
hit a limit at 330 pm eastern that reset at 5pm, came back at 630 to a message that says my limit restarts next week and an infinite history of /rate-limit-options being sent from my cli
What Should Happen?
i shouldn't have a /rate-limit options loop that consumes my usage limits and wastes my money
