To increase your Claude API rate limits in Clay, you'll need to upgrade your Anthropic API key to a higher tier. Clay uses Anthropic's Claude for text generation, and if you're getting errors before prompts run, it's likely due to rate limit restrictions on your current API tier. Similar to OpenAI integrations, you'll need to ensure your API plan meets the required tokens per minute (TPM) for the services you're trying to use. You can also define rate limits in Clay by specifying the maximum number of allowed requests and the time window in milliseconds to help prevent exceeding API limits. If you need further assistance, please request human help by clicking on "Talk to a person."

Based on your error, it sounds like your Claude API key may have insufficient rate limits for use with Clay. While our documentation doesn't specify exact Claude API rate limits (unlike OpenAI which requires 30, 000 TPM for ChatGPT columns), you're likely experiencing a rate limit error before your request can be processed. You can try: 1. Upgrading your Anthropic API plan to a higher tier 2. Connecting your own API key through the Account dropdown when setting up the AI feature 3. Using Clay's managed account instead of your own API key If you continue experiencing issues, please request human assistance by clicking "Talk to a person."

Hey, thanks for reaching out! I see you have an error with your rate limits. Due to recent changes in how we work with Anthropic rate limits, Claygent now blocks keys that don’t meet the required threshold. At this time, Tier 4 (400k TPM) is required to run Claygent reliably. We're exploring support for Tier 3, but for now, Tier 4 is needed. Again, sorry for the hassle - let me know if you have any follow up questions!
