User rate limit exceeded on google Docs

Hello everyone!

I have a zap which runs through roughly 100 records per day collected from an API call.

For every record, i run through a loop, and if all conditions are met i generate a google doc. I’ve been encountering lately this ‘User rate limit exceeded’ error which is annoying. Any suggestions on how to fix it? 


Thank you in advance.

Hi @fiscozen 👋

If you’re running through 100 items at a time that’s likely what’s causing you to hit those rate limits. What might help is to use a Delay action to the loop to help space out the requests more so that you’re less likely to run into those rate limit errors. The Delay After Queue in option in particular is often helpful for these sorts of cases. You can learn more using Delay actions in Zaps here: Add delays to Zaps

If you give that a try and run into any trouble, do let me know - happy to assist further! 

Thank you so much!
