How to Reset 429 Error | Too Many Requests

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.
   
   I don’t recommend Zapier for these reasons, but maybe Zapier has a sleep/pause tool.
   
   Otherwise, I would highly recommend using Make, and they allow you to add delays to your API calls by using their 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 Airtable’s 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!

I have reported ​@omolara for repeatedly posting AI spam in the community. This AI-generated post doesn’t even answer the question correctly. 

I’m doing the same ​@ScottWorld :D.

Completely off topic here, but would be nice if some of us could become “moderators” to the community. We spend a lot of time here, and reading and filtering through spam is not very nice.

​@Mike_AutomaticN I totally agree with you! I was thinking about asking ​@MaddieJ about you and me becoming moderators, so we can control the spam!
