Long Claygent runs are often caused by rate limits or API tier issues. For reliable Claygent performance, you need Tier 2 or higher OpenAI API access with ≥450,000 TPM.
Check your OpenAI API usage limits to verify your tier. If you see yellow warnings, it indicates slow performance due to low limits on your account.
To improve processing speed:
- Ensure specific, well-defined search queries
- Break large requests into smaller batches
- Monitor your API quotas
- Consider upgrading to a higher OpenAI tier for faster performance
Clay is also deploying features like retries and smarter pacing to better handle rate limits and reduce processing delays.
