Description

Short summary

Work in session halted with unclear message

Affected version or release

v1.1.14

Installation context

Windows

What happened?

During multiple sessions I got this. At first I was confused, as I am only at 40% of my monthly budget. Took me a minute to realize it might be a rate limit or something, and indeed, that was listed above.

Steps to reproduce
Image
Expected behavior
  1. Clarify the message itself, it was not clear by itself
  2. I had 4 concurrent sessions with the same issue
  3. One session decided to go with "auto" by itself, but did not actually continue at all

Make it clear if this is a user account wide issue with the ratelimit, or only for the specific model (I had all 4 sessions on the same model).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the message on Windows v1.1.14 with multiple concurrent sessions using the same model, and compare it with the rate-limit information shown above it. Done means the user-facing message clearly states whether the limit is account-wide or model-specific, and explains whether switching to auto will actually continue the session.
