Why am I receiving a 'User-rate limit exceeded' error when trying to deploy a Gmail app trigger via the Pipedream Connect API?

Hi Pipedream Team,
I’m trying to deploy a Gmail app trigger via the Connect API, and the deploy consistently fails with a Gmail user rate limit error during the initial bootstrap.

What I’m doing:
• Using Pipedream Connect API (project env: development).
• Trigger: Gmail “new email received”
• Flow: reload props → use dynamicPropsId → deploy trigger → then attach webhook.
• The Gmail account is connected via Connect and I pass the account’s authProvisionId and the same external_user_id across calls.
The exact error
• On triggers.deploy, Pipedream returns 422 with observations showing Gmail is rate-limiting the bootstrap call:
Error:

status_code: 422
observations.error.message:
"User-rate limit exceeded. Retry after {DATE_TIME}"

I’ve verified the external_user_id owns the provided authProvisionId and filtered configuredProps strictly to names returned by reload_props (plus gmail object).

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

You’re using your own OAuth client there?

I believe that error message is coming from Google, and not Pipedream.
