Improving Rate Limit Handling for Enhanced User Experience

Is there a plan to improve rate limit handling? This is BY FAR the most annoying part of the product (and I use it a lot). I have multiple sheets where I have to MANUALLY run rows for (I kid not) hours to get them through our rate limits (e.g, anthropic, Tier 2). I know you want to keep the software fast -- but I don't understand why you wouldn't just optimize our API calls RELATIVE to our rate limits vs. making me manually re-run the errors constantly

You can manage API rate limits within Clay by using the rate limit configuration settings available in the HTTP API integration. Here's how: 1. In the HTTP API integration settings, locate the "Define rate limit" section 2. Set your desired parameters: • Request Limit: Specify maximum number of allowed requests • Duration (in ms): Set the time window (e.g., 1000ms = 1 second)This configuration helps prevent exceeding API rate limits by controlling how many requests are sent within a specific timeframe.For optimal results, you can adjust these settings to match the rate limits of your specific API provider. This allows you to process your data while staying within the provider's limitations.

You can manage API rate limits within Clay by using the built-in rate limit configuration settings in the HTTP API integration. Here's how it works: 1. In the HTTP API integration settings, find the "Define rate limit" section 2. Configure two key parameters: • Request Limit: Set your maximum number of allowed requests • Duration (in milliseconds): Define the time window (e.g., 1000ms = 1 second)This configuration helps prevent hitting API rate limits by controlling the request flow within your specified timeframe.You can optimize these settings to match your specific API provider's rate limits, which allows for smoother data processing while staying within the provider's limitations.

Simply submitting a request for rate limit handling -- would save me from having to manually manage these sheets
