Rate limit- Google Drive to Pinterest

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

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.
