Can Clay's HTTP API Step Handle Throttling Below 5 RPS?

·

Can you confirm that Clay’s HTTP API step cannot throttle below 5 requests per second (≈300 per minute)? I need to know if there’s any way to set a lower request rate natively inside Clay, or if tools requiring <5 RPS must always be handled with an external queue

Yes, I can confirm that our HTTP API step cannot throttle below 5 requests per second. The rate limit must average at least 5 requests per second to work properly. There's no way to set a lower request rate natively inside Clay. For tools requiring less than 5 RPS, you'll need to handle throttling with an external queue or wrapper service.
