✅ Quick Fixes
- Wait a few minutes - Rate limits reset automatically
- Use a smaller/faster model - Less load on the API
- Upgrade your API tier - Higher limits with paid plans

Common causes:
- Sending many messages rapidly
- Using ClawdBot in busy group chats
- Running multiple ClawdBot instances

Pro Tip: If you hit rate limits often, consider using local AI (Ollama) - no rate limits ever!
