Gemini CLI 0.68.0 shows rate-limit countdowns

What changed

Version 0.68.0 shows the 429 rate-limit cool-down with a countdown in the loading indicator. It lists Auto in /model when dynamic model configuration is on and preview access is off, adds an extension validation command and a SubagentStop hook event, keeps your selected model across fallback, cancel and rewind, and fixes several Windows issues. No breaking changes are listed.

Who it affects

Gemini CLI users, mainly on Gemini Code Assist Standard and Enterprise plans and paid API or Vertex keys.

What to do

Upgrade with npm install -g @google/gemini-cli@latest. When you hit a 429, wait out the countdown instead of retrying in a loop.
