Hi everybody,
First of all, sorry for my bad English. I’m French.
I have a starter account and I have made a zap that do the following :
1- insert images in google drive
2- Delay 2mn
3- insert a pin in Pinterest
After some images that are ok, zapier has stopped my zap and I have this error :
“The app returned "You have exceeded your rate limit.”
How to fix this problem please?
Sincerly yours

@stratosweb -
Some applications limit the amount of times Zapier can hit them: https://zapier.com/help/troubleshoot/behavior/rate-limits-and-throttling-in-zapier. In this case, it’s possibly Pinterest limiting you: https://developers.pinterest.com/docs/api/overview/?. These limits come from the destination app, not Zapier, so you’d need to look at your workflow and space the work out further.
