Why isn't my notion.so calendar syncing with Google Calendar despite successful editing, and could the "Rate Limit Exceeded" error be due to creating too many events?

Hello,
I’m trying to have my calendar in notion.so connect to my google calendar. It’s all working fine during the edit but when I let it run on it’s own, nothing shows up on my calendar :confused:
At first, I thought it would be a matter of time but it has been two days now.
It says it has something to do with the “Rate Limit Exceeded”. Could it be because I created too many events in my notion.so calendar? I hope not because I only did 50 and this represents around 1/3 of the total events.

Hi , could you share the screenshot of the action/source having Rate Limit Exceeded error?

Yep,
Is this good?
:pray::pray::pray:

As you can see, it’s supposed to run every 15 minutes but even two days after the last run, nothing is happening.

Hi , I see that your workflow received lots of event at the same time, so it exceed Pipedream’s rate limit described here: Troubleshooting Common Issues

I would suggest you to slow down the rate that you create the notion page to avoid this :pray:

Oh… Is that the issue!?
Thanks a lot!
I am a little disappointed though as the goal was to sync my ±600 hours programmed in my notion calendar to my google calendar :man-facepalming:

Hmm, this much of data is quite new. May I ask is this a one time operation or you need it sync over time?

Of course you may :blush:

Here’s the full picture:
I’m a teacher (/entrepreneur) and in the summer, I get hundreds of hours booked for the year before the beginning of class in September. Since I create the curriculums, ressources, grades (basically everything) on notion, I already have each session planned with date, start, end, location, topic, class, etc. Now I’d love to have all that work be automatically transmitted to my calendar and not need to redo the work manually. You see? I don’t have the heart/time to do the work twice.

To answer briefly your question: It’s a once-a-year-per-class operation (as I don’t get all the schedules at the same time).
