}What issue are you seeing?
The /status command consistently returns stale rate limit information on the first attempt. It requires a second consecutive execution to fetch and display the most up-to-date rate limit data. It appears the CLI is failing to refresh or validate the local state/cache before returning the result on the initial call.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
Uploaded thread: 019f7181-9161-7781-ae6a-6be8e3d75712
What is the expected behavior?
The /status command should fetch the latest, real-time rate limit data on the very first execution without requiring a follow-up call to refresh the state.
