The "RateLimit: Rate limit hit" error commonly occurs when you exceed the rate limit set by Webflow's API, which can happen if you're making too many requests within a short period of time. To resolve this issue when publishing your Webflow site using Make (formerly Integromat), you can try the following solutions:
1. Throttle the requests: Check if you're making an excessive number of requests in a short timeframe. Consider implementing a delay between requests to ensure you stay within the rate limit. You can do this by using a timer or delay module in Make to control the flow of requests and prevent hitting the rate limit.
2. Optimize your automation workflow: Review your workflow in Make and look for opportunities to optimize it. Determine if any unnecessary steps or redundant requests can be eliminated. Streamlining your workflow can help reduce the number of API calls made, minimizing the chances of hitting the rate limit.
3. Check for loops or infinite loops: Make sure there are no inadvertent loops or infinite loops in your automation workflow. If a loop is present, it can rapidly make API calls and lead to hitting the rate limit. Verify that your workflows are designed correctly and don't have unintended recursive patterns.
4. Utilize Webflow's Bulk Actions: If you're updating multiple items simultaneously, consider using Webflow's Bulk Actions feature instead of making individual API requests for each item. This reduces the total number of API calls required and can help you stay within the rate limit.
5. Contact Webflow support: If you continue experiencing issues with the rate limit, it's advisable to reach out to Webflow support. They can analyze your specific use case and provide guidance or potentially increase your rate limit to accommodate your workflow requirements.
Note that the rate limit can vary depending on your Webflow plan. Therefore, it's a good practice to review Webflow's API documentation or contact their support team to ensure you're staying within the appropriate rate limits for your plan.
