When Claude limit is reached, don't keep re-querying #19
Description
Hi all, an unrelated Claude bug caused me to hit the 5 hour limit on my Claude account very quickly. This results in an error back from Claude. That's fine, but autocoder keeps opening new sessions and trying to send more requests (That will inevitably fail). Ideally it should alert the user and then pause until the listed time. A good first step though, would be to simply display some kind of warning so it's clear when this happens.
Here's what the debug window looks like:
