When running long Ralph loops, hitting Claude's rate limit would cause the loop to fail. This enhancement adds: - Rate limit detection by checking transcript for common error patterns (rate.limit, rate_limit, too.many.requests, 429, quota.exceeded, usage.limit) - Integration with ccusage to determine remaining time until block reset - Automatic wait and resume functionality When a rate limit is detected: 1. The stop hook checks the transcript for rate limit error patterns 2. Uses ccusage (if available) to get accurate remaining time 3. Displays a message showing wait time and resume time 4. Sleeps until the block resets (with 60s buffer) 5. Continues the Ralph loop automatically This enables truly autonomous long-running tasks that can span multiple 5-hour blocks without manual intervention. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
Instead of depending on ccusage npm package, now parses the reset time directly from the rate limit error message pattern "resets X:XXam/pm" (e.g., "resets 6:30am"). This approach: - Removes external dependency on ccusage - Uses the exact reset time shown to the user - More reliable and simpler 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>
