handle (Gemini) rate limits more gracefully #490
Description
I selected Gemini 2.5 Flash (which I believe is a free model), and am regularly seeing this:
However after waiting a short while, I can submit a new prompt and continue without any issues. This makes sense because according to https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits, the free model is limited to 10 requests per minute.
So ideally opencode would:
- know the rate limits for each model
- keep track of how close its usage is to that limit
- warn when it's getting close to the limit
- when the limit gets hit, pause for the appropriate amount of time showing a countdown timer and an explanation of what's going on together with some suggestions on how to overcome the limit (e.g. by changing to a paid model)

I'm actually getting the same for Claude, should I open new issue?
EDIT: it seems that this only applies for using anthropic through API key not oauth?
