Experiencing throttling issue with high volume of Zaps despite max settings


I have been going round and round with Zapier tech “support,” and I’m getting nowhere with them. I keep having my Zaps held up by “throttling.” I have all of my Zaps and my account set to the max of 1,500 before anything gets throttled, but I simply have a LOT of Zaps for my business. During busy times, it seems that it’s maxing out and then I can’t get anything done. When I go back in and try to re-play those held Zaps, even if I do them in batches, it ends up throttling me again. Has anyone had this problem and managed to solve it, because Zapier “support” doesn’t seem to care.

Hi ​@toddorts 

For us to have more context, post screenshots showing which Zap triggers you are using. (app & event so we can see if those are instant vs scheduled)

 

Did you try adding a Delay After Queue step?

NOTE: Zapier has a 1 minute delay minimum.

 

What Zapier plan do you have?

Hi there, ​@toddorts 👋

How are things going? Did that Delay After Queue action Troy suggested to the trick?
