I’m sorry to hear that you’re experiencing rate limit issues with error status code 429. To help you better, I need more information about the API or service you’re using within your Pipedream workflow. Can you please provide more details about the specific API or service you’re working with? This will help me give you more accurate guidance on how to resolve the issue.

I am using the Open AI API. Workflow integrates Google Drive to Open AI and subsequently to Notion database. It is an audio to transcription workflow

It seems like you’re hitting the rate limit for the OpenAI API. To resolve this issue, you can try the following: 1. Add a delay between API requests: You can use the setTimeout function in your Pipedream workflow to add a delay between API calls to avoid hitting the rate limit. 2. Check your OpenAI API usage: Review your OpenAI API usage to ensure you’re not exceeding the allowed limits for your plan. You might need to upgrade your plan or optimize your workflow to stay within the limits. 3. Handle rate limit errors: In your workflow, add error handling to catch the 429 status code and implement a retry mechanism with exponential backoff. This will help you gracefully handle rate limit errors and retry the request after a certain period. Remember to also check the rate limits for Google Drive and Notion APIs to ensure you’re not exceeding their limits as well.

I think you have hit the rate limit on Open AI API, I would recommend you to:

  1. Wait a while until Open AI fill back your rate limit
  2. Do not upload so many files to your Google Drive at the short period of time, this might get you rate limited again
