TL;DR

The issue is likely due to exceeding the rate limit, and a workaround could be to implement a delay between requests or split sessions into smaller chunks.

Guidance

• The error messages indicate a rate limit error, suggesting that the number of requests is exceeding the allowed limit within a certain time frame.
• To verify the rate limit, check the documentation or contact support to understand the specific limits and any burst limits that may apply.
• Consider implementing a delay between requests or splitting sessions into smaller chunks to stay within the rate limit.
• Reviewing the code at file:///usr/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js:8:52350 and file:///usr/lib/node_modules/@anthropic-ai/claude-code/cli.js:47:1652 may provide insights into how requests are being made and how to optimize them.

Example

No specific code example can be provided without more context, but a general approach to rate limiting might involve using a library or function that adds a delay between requests, such as setTimeout in JavaScript.

Notes

The exact solution depends on the specifics of the rate limit (e.g., tokens per hour, burst limits) and how the sessions are structured. Without more information on these details, only general guidance can be provided.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround by implementing rate limiting or delaying requests, as the issue seems to stem from exceeding the account's rate limit, and there's no clear indication of a version upgrade that would fix this issue.
