Summary of Changes

Hello @0xi4o, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the application's robustness and user experience by gracefully handling API rate-limiting scenarios. It introduces a new user interface to inform users about rate limits and provides a mechanism to automatically redirect them to this page when a 429 error occurs, along with a countdown before they can retry their actions.

Highlights

  • New Rate-Limited Page: Introduced a dedicated RateLimitedPage component to inform users when they have exceeded API rate limits, providing a clear message and a countdown timer.
  • 429 Error Handling: Implemented global error handling within ErrorContext to detect HTTP 429 (Too Many Requests) errors and automatically redirect users to the new rate-limited page. The retry-after header is used to set the initial countdown.
  • User Experience: The new page includes a 'Try Again' button that becomes active after the countdown, and a 'Back to Home' button for authenticated users, improving the user experience during rate-limiting events.

Code Review

This pull request introduces handling for 429 'Too Many Requests' errors by redirecting the user to a new rate-limited page. The changes include adding the new page and route, and updating the global error handler. My review includes feedback on improving the robustness of parsing the Retry-After header, fixing a memory leak in the countdown timer on the new page, and a suggestion to improve the user experience by using a more appropriate icon.
