What
When logging in via the device-code flow (the "go to this URL and enter this code" sign-in method), Claude Code now detects a slow_down response from the server and shows "The gateway is limiting sign-in attempts right now. Wait a few minutes and try again," instead of a generic error.
Why
This gives a clear, actionable message when sign-in is being rate-limited, instead of a confusing generic failure.
