Problem
During the 2026-08-15 session that produced PR #2700, the org's API budget hit sustained 429s: the repo's automated Claude review lanes failed repeatedly with api_error_status: 429 (their own infra comments classified it rate-limit), and the interactive session had no way to observe rate-limit state — the operator's rate-limit guard/statusline exists only in their local global config, not in cloud containers. The operator had to notice degradation manually and instruct the session to pause; the session could only run a fixed conservative concurrency cap (2 subagents) chosen blind.
Ask
Expose rate-limit telemetry to cloud sessions so agents can scale dynamically instead of guessing: options include (a) porting the rate-limit-guard hook/statusline into the cloud environment's setup (fleet cloud-environment component), (b) a lightweight polling surface (e.g. a script or MCP tool reading the org's usage/limits), or (c) at minimum a documented convention for agents to back off on observed 429s from sibling automation (the review-lane infra comments are already machine-readable).
Requested by the operator in-session ("Maybe I'll have to file an issue... so you have access to see what the rate limits are in real time, because then you can kind of dynamically scale").
