Clay Performance Issues: Slow Enrichments Taking Too Long

The slow performance and long processing times for enrichments could be due to API tier limits. If you're using a lower tier (like tier 1) of Anthropic, you may need to process data in smaller batches of around 50 rows at a time. This can cause enrichments to take longer and show "Retrying" status. To manage this, you can: 1. Process smaller batches of data 2. Check your Anthropic API limits at the Anthropic API settings page 3. Review the rate limits documentation for more detailed information If you need further assistance, please request to talk to a person for more help.

To resolve slow performance and long processing times for enrichments in Clay, try these tips: 1. Break large data requests into smaller batches. For example, process about 50 rows at a time, especially if you're using a lower API tier. 2. Test your enrichments on a small sample (about 10 rows) before running the entire column. This helps identify and fix errors in advance. 3. Ensure your search queries are specific and well-defined to improve processing speed. 4. Monitor your usage limits, tiers, and API quotas to avoid hitting rate limits. 5. Check your network connection stability to ensure smooth data transfer. If you're still experiencing issues, consider reviewing your Anthropic API settings and rate limits for more detailed information on managing your limits.
