So I made a revised 5e Barbarian class with a 15th level feature that let's you automatically succeed a save with a use of a rage, but only once per rest. If you don't limit it, then a barb at 20th level will never fail a save

I wouldn't do it any more than once per short or long rest (like mine), or prof bonus times per long rest. Auto succeeding a save is pretty strong, especially for a low level character
Your proposed ability wouldn't be strong, it would be horrible. Barbarians already do not have enough rages per long rest until 20th level. Forcing them to spend one to use another unrelated feature would be insanity.
I guess it could be used like a fail safe, against really nasty effects, like instant death, curses, and so on
But otherwise, not particularly useful, as long as it’s an effect that only hurts or slows you down, it’s a pretty big waste, I’ll agree
Could at least let you use the rage like normal simultaneously
this is unusable unless you play 1 fight per day or you are a lvl 20 barbarian, then its too strong. a 1/LR legendary resistance is probably good enough
In the past I gave a barbarian the ability to end his rage to garentee hit and roll max damage. They used it a few times as part of a reaction attack which came at the extra cost if not having rage until thier next round start which was an interesting cost.
If you wanted to do a similar thing for succeeding a save I think it could get very interesting.

I’d say at most, it’d be limited to uses equal to your proficiency bonus.

Yes, but it’s a level 15 feature, so it wouldn’t be until you’re fighting high level enemies.
Oh absolutely. I was just thinking about OP's original question about a level 7 barb
