Bug/UX: Frequent Session Errors (High-Frequency Rate Limiting) and UI Overlap During Task Permission Check on Free Tier #60

Description

@NaeemNajm

Hi team,
I am currently using the shob AI agent workspace on the free tier. It used to work flawlessly, but recently (especially after the latest updates), I have been facing frequent usage interruptions and UI/UX issues during parallel agent execution.

Here is a breakdown of the core problems I am encountering:

### 1. Frequent Rate Limiting & Obscure Errors

  • Issue: I am constantly hitting limits, accompanied by a generic Session error pop-up stating:

  • "Detected high-frequency non-compliant requests from you. Please consciously comply with the platform usage agreement..."

The Confusion: As a free tier user, there is currently no transparency or clear dashboard metric showing what my actual rate limits or daily/hourly token caps are.

404 Error: When attempting to check the official upgrade/policy paths via the provided links (e.g., https://shob.ai/go), it returns a 404 Not Found error page.

### 2. Critical UI Overlap (Continue Button Blocked)

  • Issue: When an active coding task is in progress and the agent requests permission to execute a command or make file modifications, the "Continue" / confirmation button gets pushed down or hidden underneath the bottom container layout.

  • Impact: I have to manually use tedious workarounds (like inspecting or zooming out) just to click the permission button to let the workflow proceed.

Potential Solutions & Developer Insights
To make debugging and optimizing easier, here are a few technical recommendations based on the issues observed:

For the Rate Limiting & Policy Page:

Graceful Degradation / Dynamic Backoff: Implement a more graceful handling of high-frequency requests on the client side (e.g., queuing agent requests or introducing an exponential backoff mechanism) instead of instantly triggering a hard session termination.

Limit Transparency: Add a basic counter or text indicator in the user profile/sidebar showing remaining free-tier calls or cool-down status.

Fix Routing: Update the https://shob.ai/go routing configuration on the web server to point to a valid subscription/tier-policy page instead of returning a 404.

For the UI Overlap:

Flexible Layout Constraints: Wrap the execution action buttons/panel inside a container with a defined max-height and overflow-y: auto, or use a sticky/floating actions bar. This ensures that no matter how deep the command tree or terminal logs grow, the confirmation/permission triggers (Continue buttons) remain pinned or visible at the viewport bottom.
