Please reduce the frequency and improve the timing of the rate limit reset opportunity notification popup.

The current popup says the user has a new rate limit reset opportunity and includes an action button to view reset counts. It can appear repeatedly, which is distracting during normal use and also creates a risk of accidental clicks.

Suggested behavior:

  • Limit this notification to at most once or twice per day.
  • Suppress repeated notifications after the user dismisses it, for example until the next day.
  • Do not show it frequently when the user has recently received/reset rate limit capacity.
  • Do not show it when the user still has more than 90% of their remaining allowance.
  • Consider adding a "don't show again today" / snooze behavior.
  • Avoid showing the popup during moments where users are likely to click elsewhere and accidentally trigger the action button.

Additional information

This notification is useful in principle, but the current frequency is too aggressive. When the user has a high remaining allowance, especially above 90%, there is usually no urgent reason to interrupt them with a reset opportunity reminder.

A less frequent and context-aware notification policy would preserve the value of the reminder while reducing interruption and accidental-click risk.
