To run a large number of HTTP API POST requests from Clay, you can adjust the rate limit settings. Here's how: 1. In your HTTP API integration, find the "Define rate limit" section. 2. Set the "Request Limit" to a lower number, like 5 requests. 3. Set the "Duration (in ms)" to an appropriate time frame, e.g., 1000 ms (1 second). This will help prevent overloading the API and reduce errors. Additionally, ensure your request body is correctly formatted. If you're still experiencing issues, please paste your JSON in the chat so we can troubleshoot further. If you need more assistance, you can request human help by clicking on "Talk to a person".

Hey, Do you know what rate limits agent.ai has in place? Sending 100 requests at once can easily overwhelm the API if there’s a cap. You might need to set a custom rate limit in Clay to slow down the requests—this can help avoid failures and keep the process stable. Let me know if you want help setting that up.
