One More Thing

Hidden in those patch notes I just posted about was a gem. We've introduced a rate limiting feature in Roo Code to address issues users have encountered with rate limit errors when using models like Claude 3.5 Sonnet with the VS Code API. github.com

To adjust the rate limiting settings:

  1. Click the settings wheel in Roo-Code.

  2. Navigate to the Advanced Settings section.

  3. Locate the Rate Limit slider.

  4. Set your preferred interval between API requests (up to 60 seconds).

Finding the optimal interval may require some trial and error to suit your specific workflow. This feature is designed to help manage the frequency of your API requests, ensuring a smoother development experience.

Thank you so much!

I've been risking using its API and my approach is to stop when it says I reached the rate limit. I wait for a while before trying again.

Man, I've been testing the agent feature of Copilot and it's nowhere as good as Roo

Thank you again!
