What issue are you seeing?

When sol high executes an external shell command, it periodically polls the shell's status—even when status checks are explicitly disabled and it is instructed to simply wait for the shell to exit naturally.

This introduces a critical issue: each polling cycle drains 1% of the 5-hour rate limit on the Plus subscription plan. Consequently, during long-running invocations (such as claude.exe or agy.exe), the 5-hour rate limit gets prematurely exhausted before the shell command has even finished running.
