Hello! We encountered a number of systematic errors when accessing our Airtable databases inside Make (former Integromat) scenarios via API

When accessing an Airtable module in a Make scenario , Airtable consistently throws one of two errors:

1) Error 429

2) The operation timed out

Because of this, all our Make scenarios automatically stop and we experience great difficulties. Re-running the scenario results in similar errors.

Please help fix this issue.

The screenshots with errors are attached

Thank you in advance

Same - just recently - and we are on Enterprise plan 😞

Here are 2 possible reasons for receiving an error 429 from Airtable:

  1. Too many API calls in too short of time. Airtable allows a maximum of 5 requests per base per second. You can add delays to your API calls by using Make’s “Sleep” tool.
     
  2. You’ve gone over your API call limits for the month for that base. Business and Enterprise plans have unlimited API calls, but Free and Team plans have limits. You can see the limits near the bottom of Airtable’s pricing page. And then, if you go into your “Workspace Settings” page, you can see how many API calls you’ve already used this month for each base. (Note that you need to be the owner of the workspace in order to get into “Workspace Settings”.)

Hope this helps!
