Zapier errors / Rate limit

This [App] step was throttled by Zapier

platform: Zapier / category: Rate limit / code: throttled

Cause

Zapier flood-protection triggered because the Zap fired too many runs in a short window (e.g. 100+ tasks queued at once).

Fix

Add a 'Delay After Queue' step before the throttled action to spread requests. On paid plans, adjust the flood-protection limit in the Zap settings. Replay held runs from Task History once the window passes; for high-volume triggers, split across Zaps or use Looping with a delay.
