⎿  API Error: Rate limit reached

TL;DR

The issue is likely due to a misinterpreted rate limit, and checking the actual API request count or waiting for the rate limit reset may resolve the issue.

Guidance

• Verify the actual number of API requests being made by the CLI to ensure it aligns with the reported usage (3% used).
• Check the API documentation to understand how rate limits are calculated and applied, as the reported usage seems low.
• Consider waiting until the rate limit reset time (3pm America/Toronto for the session, May 6, 1am America/Toronto for the week) to see if the issue resolves itself.
• If the issue persists, investigate potential changes in the API or CLI that could be causing the rate limit to be reached prematurely.

Notes

The provided information suggests a potential discrepancy between the reported usage and the rate limit error, indicating a possible misinterpretation or miscommunication of the rate limit.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Wait until the rate limit reset time to see if the issue resolves itself, as the reported usage seems low and the error message may be incorrect.
