Developer builds tool to manage API quota job re-runs

A developer has created a Python script, `claude-quota-guard.py`, to manage job execution when API quotas are exhausted. The script halts jobs when a quota limit is reached, but the subsequent challenge is determining which jobs to re-run once the quota is replenished. A companion script, `quota-catchup.py`, addresses this by identifying eligible jobs based on whether they are guarded by `claude-quota-guard.py`, if their scheduled slots have already passed, and if they were skipped due to quota issues.

    15 launchd Jobs and One Quota Circuit Breaker: Deciding What to Re-run Once the Circuit Closes

    <p>A circuit breaker that halts every job the moment your quota runs dry is only half the story. The harder question shows up afterward: once the circuit closes again, what do you do with everything it skipped? In my <a href="https://zenn.dev/bokuwalily/articles/wiki-improvements…
