[FEATURE] Native session recovery after Claude Code quota/rate-limit exhaustion
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
Workflow breaks when quota or rate limits are reached. Current user experience:
- Claude Code is working on a task.
- The session reaches a usage/quota/rate limit.
- Claude Code displays a reset time.
- The task stops.
- The user must manually come back later and type
continueor runclaude --continue/claude --resume. - If the user is away, asleep, or running a long task, the session remains blocked.
- In some cases, resuming later can also cause duplicated work, stale context, or extra quota usage.
I am not asking for a way to bypass Anthropic’s limits. The goal is to respect the limit, wait until the reset time, and resume safely.
Proposed Solution
I built cc-session-recover to solve a practical Claude Code workflow problem: when a coding session hits a usage/quota/rate limit, the user has to manually return later and resume the session with continue, claude --continue, or claude --resume.
No TMUX, no OS hacks
This feature request asks Claude Code to support this workflow natively, or expose stable hooks/APIs so tools like cc-session-recover can implement it reliably without brittle terminal scraping.
