[FEATURE]: Pause/Start/Retry button #60011
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
I have access to an LLM where the usage per time (per hour) is capped. If I'm running Open Code with multiple subagents, I sometimes hit a limit and then the Open Code just gets an error message. It will retry many times in short succession and then stops. But there is now easy way to "restart" this (I think). It could help to have a pause button on the main agent stream .. and also on the subagents. Not a stop, but pause.
Best,
Marek

Thanks for the request, @MarbuelB! I think this is a duplicate of #27511, which asks for a Suspend/Resume control (as opposed to Stop) for both the main agent and subagents. Other users there have also brought up pausing to deal with usage limits.

We haven't heard back since the duplicate notice, so I'm closing this as a duplicate of #27511. That issue already tracks a Pause/Resume control for the main agent and subagents. Please add your 👍 and use case there; recovering after hitting an hourly usage cap is a good example. #43126 (auto-pause until a rate limit resets) and #59533 (subagents retrying on rate limits) are also worth following. If your request turns out to be different, reply here and we can take another look. Thanks, @MarbuelB!
