[Feature Request] ZCode: Option to automatically consume reset coupons when quota limits are reached #923

Summary

Community request from Discord user a [ᓚᘏᗢ]:

"have a option to auto use resets when usage limits hit so autonomous work can be done in zcode"

Problem Statement

When running autonomous, multi-step agent tasks in ZCode (such as /goal, deep refactoring loops, or long-running builds), the agent often reaches the 5-hour or daily usage limit while working unattended.

Currently, even if the user owns unused quota reset coupons or cards:

1. The agent abruptly halts and waits for manual human intervention.
2. The user must manually navigate to the billing or usage page to redeem the reset coupon before resuming the task.
3. This breaks unattended workflows and overnight automation.

Proposed Solution

Add an opt-in toggle in ZCode Settings (e.g., under Settings -> Usage / Quota or in session options):

• Setting: Auto-consume quota reset cards when limit is reached (Toggle: On/Off).
• Safety Cap (Optional): A dropdown allowing users to limit consumption (e.g., "Auto-consume up to 1 / 2 resets per autonomous session").
• Behavior: When ZCode receives a quota exhaustion error (429 or quota limit code) during an active run, it checks whether auto-reset is enabled and a valid reset coupon is available. If so, it redeems the card and automatically continues execution without stopping the agent turn.

User Impact & Benefits

• Enables truly unattended and overnight agent workflows.
• Prevents hours of idle time waiting for manual coupon clicks.
• Gives users full control via an explicit toggle so resets are not spent unintentionally.
