Troubleshooting a 429 API error and running columns repeatedly

Hi legends! Question when I want to run a column I often get the error Clay received a 429 error from the API with Content: Unexpected token T in JSON at position 0 I understand that there is a cap regarding the amount of records you are trying to pull via the API. But two questions:

  1. 1.

    Why do I have to re-run these columns over and over again? Isn't there a simple way that you can select a column and let it re-run untill everything has run (e.g. in the background)?

  2. 2.

    Normally every hour I can re-run the column, but for several hours I keep the same error code. Bug?

    Hey hey! Can you drop the URL for your table here? (if applicable) 🫶 Don't worry, only admins will be able to open your table 😉

    Currently, we don't have an option to schedule or automate re-runs but that's been discussed and may be on the roadmap already. HTTP should have a custom rates section at the bottom of the column and that could help in the meantime.
