When Claude Code shows \"5-hour limit reached - resets 3pm\" , this tool waits for the reset and sends \"continue\" automatically. You come back to find your work done. No dependencies. No workflow change. Just install and forget. 📢 Status (Aug 2026): The Claude Desktop app now does this natively — an \"☑ Auto-continue when limits reset\" checkbox (confirmed in the wild). The CLI still doesn't have it — that's the gap this tool covers today. Track anthropics/claude-code#35744 for the native CLI version; until it lands, npm i -g claude-auto-retry is the way. --- 💡 Why wait out the limit at all? This tool auto-resumes Claude Code the moment you're rate-limited — but if you run overnight jobs or always-on agents, there's a way to stop hitting the wall in the first place. See how it's done → The Problem You're in the middle of a complex task with Claude Code. After a while, you see: Claude stops. You have to wait hours, come back, and type \"continue\". If you're running long tasks overnight or while AFK, this kills your productivity. The Solution That's it. Type claude as you always do. When the rate limit hits, the tool: 1. Detects the rate limit message in the terminal 2. Parses the reset time (timezone-aware) 3. Waits until the limit resets + 60s margin 4. Verifies Claude is still the foreground process 5.
