You're not alone - Google Sheets integrations can be slow due to rate limits. Google limits us to 300 read requests per minute, so when you hit that limit, requests get temporarily blocked until the quota resets.
The best approach is to retry after a brief pause when this happens. You can also try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows or Cmd+Shift+R on Mac) if you're seeing general performance issues.
For better performance, consider breaking large data requests into smaller batches and ensuring your queries are specific.
