Summary

It seems to be impossible to retrieve the response content of a RateLimitException:

catch (RateLimitException ex)
{
    string contents = await ex.Response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync(); // will get stuck indefinitely
}

as D#+ seems to dispose of it before it gets thrown. This makes it impossible to retrieve important information, such as whether the rate limit is guild-specific or global or the retry_after property.

Other exceptions might be affected too, I don't know, I didn't check.

Reproduction Steps

Things like response headers work fine. It just fails for the content.
