What You Asked Claude to Do

I’m on the $200 plan, and I just asked a simple question, yet I keep getting an “API Error: Rate limit reached.” I’m not sure why this is happening, and it’s frustrating to pay $200 and still run into this issue.
The Claude Code dashboard on platform.cloud.com doesn’t show any usage at all, so I have no visibility into what’s causing the rate limit.
Right now I’m stuck on something I can’t move forward with, even after paying for the premium tier.

What Claude Actually Did

Asking a question to update a latex file

Expected Behavior

It should have sent this to an LLM to generate the LaTeX, and then sent that LaTeX to a LaTeX‑to‑PDF API.
